I Have White Things On the Bottom Side of the Head On Penis? Posted: 04-30-07 08:00am
Hi there
i'm a 17 year old virgin male and for the
past year I noticed i've had some white
"dots" circling the of my penis, right
under the head actually on the edges.
Should I be worried? What is it? I've
looked up information on std and Herpes
and i'd have to say I never had any of the
symptoms but i'm still worried, is this
dirt that just needs to wash away?
I also noticed when i'm erected they end
up dissapearing a little, or after i've
taken a shower.
I hope this isn't something serious =(.
Edit: I think to be a little more
specific, i'm not sure or do not have
information on this but I think it i's
called "pearly penile papules"?

Penile papuels does sound like what you've
got, and they are perfectly normal, helthy
and harmless. I wouldn't worry about them.
Personally, I think they look kind of
neat, not gross at all. My fiancee has a
few tiny bumps around his corona too.

Yup, pearly penile papules is what I
thought when I started reading this. They
are common and no cause for concern. They
are not an STD and are not the result of
bring dirty or anything like that. My man
has some too.
You could always go in to get the doctor
to verify that that is what they are.

Laser surgery is an option, but it is
pretty much pointless. The papules don't
hurt, don't interfere with sex, and cannot
be given to partners. There is no medical
reason to bother with removing them.

No, I am not aware of any other ways to
remove them, especially something as
simple as a soap or cream. If they come
out with a soap or cream that melts
portions of skin and tissue away, I am not
sure that I would want to use it anyway.
It is true that not everyone knows what
they are, but if you have them, it's easy
to explain to a partner. If they don't
believe you, you could look it up and even
show them pictures. If that does not
satisfy them, you could bring them to the
doctor with you or use a condom. It
really isn't a big deal. If someone is
not comfortable with their own body, I am
not sure that they should be sharing it
with other people yet anyway.

Thanks for the support and feedback! I was
very worried it would end up being
something serious, glad I got this

Ok so if we can't remove them what is the
best way of preventing them. Or are they
something that we can't do anything about.

You cannot prevent them. You either have
them or you don't.
