I have recently noticed these small bumps on my shaft, and since then im having psyhological issues because im afraid it might be an STI.
They are pretty small, almost not visible with naked eye, skin colored but appear white if looked at from side or under focused light.
I would really appreciate it if anyone could give me any idea of what it might be or is it just random and normal skin condition that appeared recently or i didnt notice before.
hey. are they fluid filled? from a first glance id say asymptomatic herpes and id recommend getting checked quickly before they disappear.
No, they also give no any other symptoms like iching, burning, pretty much stand there like normal part of skin.
hey just out of curiosity, what made you say asymptomatic herpes?
it looks like there is about 12-13 of them. with consideration to the size and position of them. i think it might be mallascum contagiosum. it spreads like poison ivy and if theyre scratched off a little fluid comes out and thats how you get them in a perfect line like that. it doesnt take much to open them, simple friction of boxer shorts can pop them. no need to worry too much. they are treatable and once the bumps are gone so is the infection. but you need to get to a doctor or clinic or dermatologist. i dont think this is herpes or anything too serious, but it also dont look like a normal skin tag/issue.
Thank you for your reply. Im actually worried it might be some sort of warts. From what i have noticed they do not pop at all as i did apply some frinction on them.
they look very much like MC to me. a type of wart virus, that clears on its own in around 6 to 12 months.
anyone else with different opinion? I have scheduled appointment with urologist this week, and ill check to get appointment with derm as well, just hope they will listen and notice it since they arent very intetested in their work.
Id say MC as well, wouldnt worry
have you ever found what are these ? i ve the same thing for 3 years and never found what it could be
