Current medical status: i have little bumps on my penis and balls
Current medical treatment: none


There are many causes for bumps in the genital area, including genital warts or clogged hair follicles. The latter is less likely because the bumps appeared even on the head of the penis. If you had sexual intercourse up to several weeks before the bumps then you might be experiencing a sexually transmitted disease. It would be very hard to say what the bumps are without seeing them. Data about the color, the size, the number, and if they appear in clusters would be very helpful. You might want to visit a urologist or a dermatologist who might do tests to determine the exact cause.
