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.

Very Annoyed

Hi, i’m 21 years old, and i have had these bumps on my penis for about 6-7 years now… They started slowly at the bottom, and worked their way up from the shaft, up to almost the head… i poped one of them a while back, and instead of going away it got bigger… i guess the question is, has anyone figured out a way to get rid of these annoying little pimples? Cream? Treatment? Surgery? I am really annoying and sick of these little bastards… Please Advice

I have had these since i was 12 yrs old and I am now 15. I was very worried I had an STD or something but now I am relieved. But still I would like to get rid of them somehow. I have been scared to get involved with a girl because I do not want her to notice these and they’r kind of embarassing. Is there any way to get rid of them?

I thought I had an STD for the longest time. I was embarrased about them but after i read this i am not worried anymore. I dont recommend trying to pop them because more of them will form. Its just a relief to know its common.

My husband has this. It doesn’t gross me out or anything. Actually, knowing that it is not an std really helped with our relationship. I have learned that a lot with this also have hair follicle issues all over their body. Guys, look at it like this, when erect you can feel the bumps, look at it as added pleasure for the girl. Sounds gross but its a part of life you can’t get around.

@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.

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.
