Quick Health Advice: Penis Spots

Finding a spot or spots on your penis can often induce blind panic. However, in this exclusive guide, Dr Jessen explains the benefits of getting diagnosis and treatment quickly, and talks through some of the likely conditions (from the serious to the harmless) that might have you awake at night. A spot is sometimes just a spot, but if you’re worried – then it’s nothing your GP won’t have seen a thousand times before!

If you’re suffering from any of the conditions featured on this site and want to apply for an onscreen consultation with one of the EB team then you can find more details here >>

Remember that you should always check with a health professional if you have any concerns about your health.

I am 19. and have unprotected sex with my girlfriend alot. although before we did, we made sure, A) She had the implant, and B) we both had sti checks. Now, shortly after a year longer, I have developed fairly large smooth lumps, on the tip of my penis, and one at the bottom of the shaft. I have not "Cheated" on her, and to my knowledge, she hasn't either (I trust her dearly) But these lumps are extremely itchy and only developed 5 days ago, i will be going to my GP about this but im really scared.

I Have these white spots also. I'm really scared and way too embarraced to go see the GP. They itch quite alot but dont hurt. Please can someone tell me what they are and why i have got them ? I have had unprotected sex once and it was the first time, both i and the girl were virgins so surely this means it cant be an STD. Please reply Thanks
