Heres something for you to read.

If a teen sees small bumps on his penis head, he will undoubtedly be worried about them. If he is sexually active, he might be afraid he has a sexually transmitted disease (STD). Thankfully, those bumps might not mean he has an infection. Your teen son might have a condition called hirsuties papillaris genitalis, otherwise known as pearly penile papules.
What are pearly penile papules?

Pearly penile papules are small (1 to 2mm) round bumps that are attached to the rim of the head of the penis. These bumps can be the color of the skin, translucent, white, yellow, or pink. The bumps can sometimes go all the way around the rim of the head of the penis, and the bumps can form multiple rows around the head of the penis.

These bumps (or papules) are completely normal and not a sign of infection or uncleanliness. They are not cancerous and are not precancerous lesions. It is unclear as to how many men have these papules, but they can occur in anywhere from 8% to 48% of men. Studies suggest that they occur more often in uncircumcised men than in circumcised men. These papules tend to appear when a man is in his 20s or 30s, although they can occur in teen males.
What can be done about them?

Because these bumps on the penis are not caused by an infection and are not painful or uncomfortable, they do not need to be treated or removed. They will frequently become less noticeable as the man approaches his 40s. That being said, men who have them are often embarrassed by the bumps because they are afraid someone will think they are an STD. Because teens are very concerned about their bodies, they will be particularly uncomfortable with not having the papules removed.

Most studies suggest that a carbon dioxide (CO2) laser is the best and most effective treatment for removal of these pearly penile papules. There are risks of treating these bumps, and the laser can sometimes cause scarring or infection.
Next steps

If your teen has bumps on his penis, contact your pediatrician or family healthcare provider. Only someone who has actually seen the lesions can accurately diagnose what they are.

Additionally, if your teen is afraid that he has an STD, it might mean that he is having sex. It will be important for you (or someone your teen trusts) to discuss with him how to avoid getting a sexually transmitted disease.. The only way for your son to completely avoid getting an STD is by not having sex. If it doesn't seem like that is a viable option, it will be important to discuss condom use, safer sex and contraception if he has a female partner.

Bumps on the penis can mean many things, but only your healthcare provider can tell for sure. He can provide the best guidance as to what the issue is and how to deal with it.

Hi there, is that something that you wrote or is that just something for peopel to look at and read? I think that it's very helpful and I'd just like to know where you got it from. Thanks!

i am 13 and i have a few small white bumps on the tip of the head of my penis i have never had sex before what are they :-(

i have the same thing, only that inside my testicle sack i found a little ball... like if i had testicular cancer... any ideas if its just the affect of the bumps on my penis head??? im really nurvous, and dont have insurance to check that out.... please anuthing would help...

about two years ago i got these bumps on the head of my penis...worried me allot and it seemed to be an irritation from unprotected sex. I went to my doctor and he told me they were "natural studs" for my womans pleasure...i didn't buy that so i went to a dermatologist and he said it was lichen nitidus-not an std. I tried the cream but i wont touch anymore because it thins my skin. I was told it usually goes away by itself but its been like 2 f'in years dammit! When my penis is erect its hard to see but you can feel the hard bumps and when flaccid it looks like i have a disease! Its so bad that I'm afraid to hook up with any girls bec I think they will be grossed out or whatever...This is hard and I would appreciate some insight if anyone has any. Thanks!

i have the same problem, iv never had sex but i do masturbate. very small reddish dots on the tip of my penis have appeared. it doesnt hurt but still. i like my penis spot free. my hygeine is pretty good and i take special care to clean there when i have a shower

any ideas?

this is weird...i have never had sex im 16 and ive been having these pimples in the bottom of my penis in the skin i cant pop them...ive been having them since i could remember.......im not circumzised and the pimples are outside what is it?

Okay are you sure you went through everything? How often are you using your penis for sex, self pleasure, what ever general use that follows an erection? It is very possible that it is over use, if it doesn't change texture, bevel from the skin in any form, and is usually in very small dots than yes sounds like it is most likely over use :) GIGGIDY! Just wait a few days WITHOUT USE and see if they heal over if they do great move on with life otherwise I would advise a doc. Hope it helps :)

Alright so I read the posts and Im glad Im not the only one with this problem. I do have poor hygiene (since I usually dont wash my head down there, and I blame my foreskin) and I was not circumcised so I can see why I have that problem. But, what should I do for those bumps to go away. Ive had this problem for over 2 years and it hasnt gone away yet. Im concerned and im worried if I engage in intercourse that it will effect the girl im with. Since I don't have a father, I can't talk to anyone I know about it. These bumps are spreading and I want to try to go see a doctor about this. Im REALLY worried, any advice?

That was it. I'm 40 and they have been there since I was about 15. From time to time if I'm very active they become irritated but the link above was very helpful. Thanks

I had sex on the friday (proctected sex) and (unproctected sex) on the saturday around monday i had red little bumps not raised and didnt irrate at first. I went straight to the doctor and she said i am going to test you for hepres 1 and 2 and other stds. As time went on it became kind of itchy i went to get the blood test and i got the results a week later and everything came back fine. So it could be due to friction while having sex. So over time it might go away like mine did but to be on the safe side go to the doctors to get checked because some of the symptoms sometimes point towards herpes 1 and 2
