Question:
Ok i have some bumps or sores around my the tip of my penis, but i have had for a while what should i do? Also could it have something to do with me not being circumsized? I mean I've had them before i even started to have sex, and i've only had sex a total of two times, should i worry about them?

Since you’ve had these bumps before you had sex, you don’t have to be concerned about sexually transmitted disease. Being circumcised has nothing to do with bumps on your penis that I’m aware of. They are probably nothing to worry about, but the next time you see your physician ask about the bumps. You will probably be told it’s normal skin. If your doctor is not sure &/or you are still concerned, you can ask for a referral to a dermatologist (skin specialist). There are many skin conditions that are not sexually transmitted (pearly papules, sebaceous glands, hair follicles or small inclusion cysts). You’re doing the right thing by seeking information, but the only way to know for sure is medical evaluation. By the way, because it’s such a common question, you can search our site for more details on bumps on penis, pearly papules, &/or sebaceous glands. Take care & contact us again anytime.
