What are the small bumps at the base of the penis?

Patient's question:

2 months ago, I noticed a couple of small bumps on the base of my husband's penis. He said it's normal and that he used to have them occasionally, without any issue. But I feel very uncomfortable looking at them and keep worrying that I might be infected with something. I'm scared that if it's not treated, I could get infected during sexual activity. However, he refuses to go to the hospital.

Doctor's answer:

You noticed one or two small bumps on your husband's penis base and suspect it might be an infection. Analysis suggests it could be bacterial infection.
Medical Advice: Hello, there are many possible causes for your situation, such as milia, keratosis pilaris, folliculitis, genital warts, or ectopic sebaceous glands. I don’t know if you’ve experienced any other symptoms. I recommend visiting the department of reproductive infections at a hospital to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment. Wishing you good health.
