Question
Hi, within the past three years I have noticed very tiny bumps in rows on the head of the penis that looks like taste buds on a person tongue. It don't seem to be getting worst which I am not sure as yet but it is unattractive and my penis head is slightly dark in colour and not pink. I don't have any stds and is healthy so what are these tiny rows of bumps about 100 in the center of the head on the penis?
Answer
If it is just one big lump it is probably a pimple. If it has several little blisters on it then it may be a Fever Blister.
Neither of these are sexually transmitted. If they keep happening there is medicine that will make them go away quicker. Just talk to your doctor.
