Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I am 18 years old, and I have these small bumps on my penile shaft. I know they are not STDs (sexually transmitted disease) or anything like that, but I have read that it might be hair follicles. Any recommendations or products that I could use? Also, there will occasionally be red pearly rashes that will appear every once in a while.
Please help.

Hi doctor,
Thank you for the reply.
I have attached few images of the affected area.
Hi,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
I read and understand your concern.
It seems like they could be genital molluscum contagiosum, pearly white asymptomatic bumps.
Have you been sexually active?
Looking forward to your response in order to help you.
Thank you.

Another possibility is that they may be penile sebaceous hyperplasia. I need really closeup good quality images to confirm the diagnosis.

Hello doctor,
Thank you for the reply.
I will upload more photos. What are your recommendations?
Hi,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
I read and understand your concern.
I have gone through the attachments (attachment removed to protect patient identity). Yes, it is sebaceous hyperplasia. They have to be fulgurated by either electrocautery or a radiofrequency cautery or with a CO2 laser or freezer with liquid nitrogen.
I suggest you to kindly visit a dermatologist.
Looking forward to your response in order to help you.
Thank you.
Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
Thank you for the reply.
But is there any home remedy for my problem that I can do to minimize them the best to my ability? I read that tea tree oil, heat are helpful. Is that true?
Hi,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
I read and understand your concern.
No. Home remedies are not recommended. They might cause irritation, pain, scarring, pigmentation which may create additional cosmetic problems and certainly, home remedies will not be helpful at all.
Looking forward to your response in order to help you.
Thank you.
Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
