Hey everyone so I have noticed I have these two small white bumps on my shaft and Im not sure what they are exactly. I dont have any pain or symptoms from them but just curious what they are and if I need to get them checked out? Any help is appreciated, thank you!
Dear sean,
They could simply be two small sebaceous cysts; I see from the photo that you have quite prominent sebaceous glands on the shaft of the penis which may predispose to this.
The differential diagnosis is molluscum contagiosum, a viral STD. Examine the spots carefully and see if you distinguish a central dimple (umbilication). See the photo from Dermnet NZ that I’ve marked. If this is molluscum instead of a simple cyst, you should get it treated as well as getting yourself and your partner screened for other STDs.
Rgds,
Adhari
