Ok I just got back from the std clinic and they said I have "sebaceous papules" they are very noticeable bumps on my shaft on my penis, and when I asked if there was any way of getting them off they said theres nothing I can do about it, they told me to ask a dermatologist if there is anything I can do but I dont know where to post about it and this forums has very usefull info so maybe someone here can help me, I mean its noticeable and I dont want people thinking I have std so please help

they also told me this is a common thing does anyone else have this, its just small bumps all around the shaft, they dont hurt but when I get an erection they get hard, witch makes it so noticeable, please help

This site: Emedicine.Com/derm/topic395.Htm seems to suggest that there is treatment for it. Scroll down to medical care.

"they are almost always located on the nose, cheeks, or forehead. They are occasionally located on the chest, areola, upper arms, or oral mucosa."

it says nothing about it on the penis

and I really want some kind of medication or cream, not anything painfull like laser treatment

Sorry, wrong link; I think this is right, but if not, let me know...

Http://www.Emedicine.Com/derm/topic313.Htm

"medical care:

* lesions typically are asymptomatic and require no therapy.

Surgical care:

* some patients may request therapy to alleviate anxiety.

* ablation using carbon dioxide laser, electrodesiccation with curettage, and excisional surgery reportedly have successfully eliminated lesions.

* mixed results have been noted with cryotherapy.

* topical application of podophyllin largely has been ineffective.

Consultations:

* dermatologist: consultation may prove useful when the diagnosis is not obvious."

no I havnt seen my dermatologist but I am only 17 and if I wanted to go see him I will need my parents, and they know nothing about this and I dont want them too. All the medications I can buy do they have to be perscribed? Or can I just order them off the net

Chances are they are prescriptions. Ordering prescription drugs over the internet (or anywhere) without a prescription is illegal and you could get into some major problems/trouble. I highly recommend, expecially since you are a minor, that you steer clear of this option.

Why don't you go back to the std clinic and see what they recommend or can tell you more in depth. After all, you went there without your parents knowing, correct?

Are your sure that's the exact name they gave you? I can't seem to find much of interest that meets your discriptions.
