About 10 months ago, I noticed a small bump on the shaft of my penis. It is flesh colored and slightly raised. I had my PM look at it recently and he said it didn't appear to be a wart. He said he would refer me to a specialist next visit if it has not gone away. Today when examining it, I also noticed a grayish patchy area next to the bump. Does this look like a possible genital wart to you? If not a wart, thoughts on what it could be?
Just a follow up in case anyone experiences something similar. Talked to an online doctor, shared symptoms and pictures, and was advised that this is not a genital wart, but a prominent sebaceous gland. The gray discoloration is penile lentigo - neither of which is an STD. Googled both and the online images match what I have. She also advised me to apply vinegar to the bump to see if it turned white - it did not.
hi, even i have many small bumps on my penis. i don't know what it is. do have any idea about it?
may i know the link of the online doctor?
Don't think I'm able to post links. Tried it and message came back saying the post needed moderation. But google "STD online advice" and you'll see a website pop up called Just Answered. That's the one...

to me the more raised bump looks like a genital wart
hey how is the situation now? any update?
So another update to this post. I finally had the bump looked at a year or so ago. The dermatologist snipped it off and sent it in for biopsy. It was not a prominent sebaceous gland, nor a wart. It was, however, a small cancerous spot. Scary stuff. Had it been left unchecked, it could have spread and been a much, much more serious situation. Lesson to be had - have anything and everything checked out by a doctor.
damn i just made a post on here and got no replies but after seeing your images and how it ended up being cancer after that long I called into work and am going to wait at a walk-in clinic tomorrow morning.
how old are you bro, I'll appreciate your prompt reply
so what are you taking to cure it? any cream or medication ??
Not taking anything. It was completely removed.
may I ask what kind of dr you saw? Glad you had it looked at and removed.
It was a urologist who cut the growth off and sent it to the lab for testing.
thank you for sharing! Didn't know if maybe it was a dermatologist.
