Penis pimples (sebaceous prominence)

Many men may think they have a sexually transmitted disease (STD) when infact they actually have a condition called Sebaceous Prominence. These Penis Pimples are caused by over active skin glands in the penis. The sebaceous glands secrete too much puss which causes pores in the penis to become blocked forming little white bumps under the skin of the penis, penis pimples.

symptoms associated with sebaceous prominence:

  • White pimples/whiteheads/bumps/lumps found mainly on the base or shaft of penis.
  • Can be found in small numbers 1-5 or in abundance, occasionally in rows.
  • Sometimes individual spots become red,inlfamed or swollen.
  • When some spots squeezed white puss comes out and the spot is then gone or white spot and small amounts of blood and spot remains.
  • Pimples become more visible when penis is erect.
  • Pimples look like hair follicle glands.

First of all, these are not pimples. Calling them “penis pimples” is both disgusting and misleading.

Second, it’s not a disease, it’s merely a glandular phenomena.

And last, it cannot be cured, so grow a pair and get over it. It’s only a big deal in your own mind.

@Jesus – I think you may need to consider what “pimple” really means. Google is your friend, http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q=define%3A+pimple&btnG=Google+Search&meta=&aq=f&oq=

* a small inflamed elevation of the skin; a pustule or papule; common symptom in acne

* A pimple is a result of a blockage of the skin’s pore. It can be a pustule or papule.

You may also wish to consider what Wikipedia has to offer (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pimple). I know Wiki is not a 100% reliable source due to the open source freedom state but the general consensus amongst users is that the term “pimple” is appropriate within the context that it is being used.
