It's important to note that for any concerns related to your health, it is best to consult a healthcare professional or a dermatologist who can provide an accurate diagnosis based on your specific symptoms and medical history. Black spots on the glans of the penis could have several possible causes. Here are a few potential explanations: fordyce spots: these are small, painless, raised spots that can appear on the glans or shaft of the penis. They are a type of sebaceous gland and are considered to be a variation of normal anatomy. Fordyce spots are usually harmless and don't require treatment. Pigmentation variations: the skin on the glans can have areas of darker or lighter pigmentation, which may be normal variations. Pigmentation changes can be influenced by genetics, hormones, or other factors. Melanocytic nevus: also known as a mole, it is a benign growth of pigment-producing cells. Moles can occur anywhere on the body, including the genitals. Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation: if you have previously experienced irritation or inflammation on the glans, such as from an infection or injury, it's possible that the dark spots are residual pigmentation changes after the healing process.

That being said, there are a few possibilities for the symptoms you described. One potential cause of small black bumps on the glans penis is fordyce spots, which are harmless and quite common. Another possibility is genital warts, which are caused by certain strains of the human papillomavirus (hpv). However, without a proper examination, it is difficult to determine the exact cause. If the clobetasone cream prescribed by your doctor is not providing relief, it may be worth scheduling a follow-up appointment to discuss your concerns. They may suggest alternative treatments or refer you to a specialist, such as a dermatologist or a urologist, for further evaluation.

Small white bumps on the inside of the foreskin could be several things, including: 1. Fordyce spots: these are small, harmless, white or yellowish spots that may appear on the penis or other parts of the body. They are caused by sebaceous glands, which produce oil to moisturize the skin. Fordyce spots are not sexually transmitted and usually do not require treatment. 2. Pearly penile papules: these are small, dome-shaped bumps that appear around the rim of the penis head (glans) or the base of the penis. They are usually flesh-colored or slightly lighter than the surrounding skin. Pearly penile papules are not contagious and do not require treatment. 3. Molluscum contagiosum: this is a viral infection that causes small, raised, pearly or flesh-colored bumps on the skin. Molluscum contagiosum is contagious and can be spread through skin-to-skin contact, including sexual contact. Treatment may involve topical or oral medication, cryotherapy, or other procedures. It is recommended that you visit a healthcare provider, such as a dermatologist or urologist, to determine the exact cause of the bumps and to receive appropriate treatment, if necessary.

No one can give opinion about homeo or allopathy for any problem as no scientific studies are ever done comparing two different pathies. It is ok even if not treated if you are sure about diagnosis.

The swollen bumps could be verruca or fordyce spots. It would be better if you consult a dermatologist who can diagnose it and treat accordingly.

Most penises are roughly the same color as the rest of the person’s skin. That said, many men have penises that are darker, with a brownish or reddish appearance. It’s also possible for a penis to be lighter than the skin on the rest of the body. Getting aroused can also cause the penis to look darker for a brief period of time. Some men have dark spots on their penis. For many men, this is a normal part of their skin. However, your primary care doctor or dermatologist should check any new spots or blemishes that don’t go away quickly. Although it isn’t too common to bruise your penis, it certainly can happen. Bruising that goes away relatively quickly generally isn’t dangerous. However, dark purple or blue bruising that spreads, especially following a painful injury, warrants medical attention because there can be long-term damage to erection. Generally speaking, if your penis has been a certain color “for as long as you can remember” then it’s probably fine. However, if there’s a new change in color accompanied by pain – especially with redness and swelling – go see your doctor. Texture most penises aren’t perfectly smooth. It’s common for the veins on a penis to be visible and even pop out a bit, especially when aroused. Many penises also have hair follicles on the shaft, which feel like tiny bumps. As long as the bumps are small and not unusually red or irritated, they’re probably benign hair follicles or natural bumps, such as pearly penile papules or fordyce spots. Pearly penile papules are tiny, smooth bumps on the head of the penis. They generally appear in young adulthood and are common; about 25 percent of men have them. They’re completely harmless and cannot be sexually transmitted. Fordyce spots are small, light red or skin-colored bumps on the shaft or scrotum. These bumps occur in at least 50 percent of men. They’re completely natural and harmless and cannot be sexually transmitted. However, larger and irritated bumps can signal a sexually transmitted infection (sti), such as penile warts, so contact your doctor if you’re concerned. It’s also possible to get a rash on your penis that’s not caused by an sti. Harsh soaps, fragranced laundry detergents and even too much friction from sex or masturbation can cause skin irritation. If the irritation doesn’t go away in a few days, see a doctor – especially if you’re sexually active. You could have an sti or jock itch, a fungal infection resulting from too much moisture. In most cases, jock itch is easily treated with topical antifungals. Size yes, penis size does vary, as does scrotum size. In the united states, the average erect penis size is 5 to 7 inches long, with a circumference of about 4 inches and diameter (or width across) of up to 2 inches. Most flaccid penises range between 1 and 4 inches. This means some men gain a lot of length when they get an erection, while others gain an inch or two. When cold or swimming in cold water, a penis can actually pull up inside the body, but will lengthen when warmer. All of this is normal. Some penises naturally hang to one side or the other. Some penises also have a slight bend to them, even when erect. This is perfectly normal and nothing to worry about, especially if the bend has been present since infancy. However, if your penis changes from straight to bent, it’s possible that you have peyronie’s disease, which is a treatable buildup of a harmless plaque. Fun fact: studies have shown that 85 percent of women are happy with the size of their partner’s penis, while only 45 percent of men are happy with their own size. This shows that most men who are self-conscious about their penis size shouldn’t be! there’s a wide range of normal and healthy penis sizes, so don’t make judgments about the sizes of others’ or your own. Foreskin some men have circumcised penises while others have intact foreskin. Both are accepted and common in u.s. Culture. A man with an intact foreskin simply has a thin layer of skin that covers the head of his penis. When aroused, the foreskin usually retracts. Keep the foreskin clean because sweat, oils and dead skin cells can build up under it. This buildup can form a white or yellowish pasty substance called smegma. Smegma is perfectly normal and nothing to worry about. Just wash it away when you take a shower to avoid getting a yeast infection. Ejaculation when a man gets aroused and comes, he releases ejaculate or semen. The amount of semen a man usually ejaculates is less than a teaspoon, but this can vary. Ejaculate is usually a whitish color, although some men do have yellowish semen. If there’s pain upon ejaculation or you’re unable to ejaculate, see a doctor. Ejaculate that has blood or a greenish tint should also be checked out. Semen comes in a variety of consistencies and textures. At times, it may be thicker and clumpier than usual. Generally, this isn’t anything to worry about. These variations are influenced by the last time the person ejaculated, how aroused they were and even what he ate earlier in the day.

Fordyce spots (also termed Fordyce granules[1] [1][2] are visible sebaceous glands that are present in most individuals. They appear on the genitals and/or on the face and in the mouth. They appear as small, painless, raised, pale, red or white spots or bumps 1 to 3 mm in diameter that may appear on the scrotum, shaft of the penis or on the labia, as well as the inner surface (retromolar mucosa) and vermilion border of the lips of the face. They are not associated with any disease or illness, nor are they infectious but rather they represent a natural occurrence on the body. No treatment is therefore required, unless the individual has cosmetic concerns. Persons with this condition sometimes consult a dermatologist because they are worried they may have a sexually transmitted disease (especially genital warts) or some form of cancer.
