We can’t tell you what your bumps are over the Internet, but it sounds like they may be pearly penis papules. Pearly penis papules are tiny bumps that ring the edge of the head of the penis. One out of three men have them, and they’re harmless.
Flesh-colored or a little lighter, pearly penis papules are shaped like smooth little domes. Although they may be sensitive to touch, they are not harmful and are not sexually transmitted. They can be removed with laser treatment.
You might be interested to know that research shows that ongoing dialogue about sex fosters closeness between parents and kids, and decreases the risk of teen pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections.
