These bumps sound like they are fordyces spots. they are very normal and are not contagious. i think the only way you might be able to get rid of them is to get them lasered off. I wouldnt worry about doing that because they are completely harmless. I hope this helps. Also if they are around your head those bumps are called pearly penile papules and they are harmless also

If they are underneath your penis they are just sweat glands and ingrown hairs getting ready to come out. It's normal. I have them and so do many other guys. Nothing to freak out about. They will gradually decrease as you get older.

i have this problem also. if this bothers you, you need to still see a doctor. even if its been awhile still do it. do not wait for them to go away, i dont think they will. try to go to the doctor on your own. set a goal, even longterm if you have to, to visit the doctor. try to say it to someone who can help.
