Hi, what are these white bumps on my penis?
I thought they were whiteheads and tried to squeeze them but nothing came out. It bled and now they're recovering.
What age are you Jacob? These are most likely a form of Sebaceous gland, most common ones are Fordyce Spots - they are completely normal and develop following the onset of sexual maturation, and therefore linked to your age
DO NOT squeeze them as you could cause a permanent scar
hello! I’m turning 26 in December. does that mean these are more likely to be fordyce spots than anything given my age?
@Wee_Dugie
You have lots of these on the shaft of your penis - I would be very surprised if they were not Fordyce Spots as that is what they look like, exactly
Yes, additional ones are linked to age - they normally appear before the age of 25 to 26 YOA but can first appear in early 30’s YOA
i squeezed a few of mine, now they are flat and white. I think I scarred them, how can i make it go away or make is less visible
First of all you need to make sure what it was that you were squeezing - are these something that have been in place for quite a period of time, or are they fairly recent?
So best is not to squeeze them in the first place - and that is presuming they are something natural, rather than an indication of an STD and suchlike.
And yes you risk creating scarring - there is no magic ointment, other than something like a relatively mild steroid ointment - but even with these I do not make recommendations as simply too many complications can arise.
The only safe kind of stuff is something like liquid coconut oil that is for use on skin
Hi yes I agree with wee_dugie they look like a fordyce spots no need to do anything really they are usually more noticeable at the base of your shaft and under side. Some time they can reduce as you get older
