What causes a grey bump on the penis glans?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have gone through your query and understand your concern.

From the image (attachment removed to protect patient identity), the small greyish bump near the corona of the glans appears smooth and non-ulcerated. Since you mention there is no pain, itching, or discharge, it does not immediately appear to be a dangerous lesion.

There are several causes related to your condition. The possible causes include

1. A benign enlarged gland.

2. A mild friction-related change.

3. A pearly penile papule variant.

4. A small cyst-like lesion.

It does not look typical of an acute sexually transmitted ulcer.

Conditions such as pearly penile papules are benign and common in many men.

For now, please follow the underlying measures. The measures are:

1. Avoid squeezing, scratching, or repeatedly checking the area.

2. Maintain normal hygiene with plain water.

3. Avoid applying random creams unless specifically advised.

However, if the bump increases in size, becomes painful, develops ulceration, discharge, or multiple lesions, or if there has been recent unprotected sexual exposure, a proper medical examination is advisable to rule out genital warts or other conditions.

How long has this bump been present, and has it changed in size or color recently?

I hope I have answered your question.

Let me know if I can assist you further.

Thank you.
