Quite normal

Those little bumps are hair follicles. Some just don't grow hair, but that is their original intended purpose. You probably can see a tiny white bump inside of each of them. Don't be concerned.

About 10% of intact men also have little bumps inside the foreskin on the edge (corona) of the glans. These are called pearly penile papules. Their purpose is not fully understood, but they, too, are quite normal.

Probably not

Generally, they are located at the base of the penis and on the scrotum, sometimes partway up the penile shaft. Aggressive circumcisions cause them to "migrate" up the shaft when too much skin has been removed and the lower part is forced into an unnatural position. As you descibe having these bumps on your foreskin is unusual, but it's nothing to worry about.

FAQ

February 24 2011, 1:25 PM 

This is one of the more Frequently Asked Questions on "help" sites.

What it shows is that you have not had the opportunity to examine other men's (or boys') penes and scrota (plural of scrotum). Which is perhaps not surprising, but a little sad. There is by and large, no harm in doing so, there is nothing wrong with curiosity.

What is harmful is the suggestion that doing so - simply examining each others' genitals for reassurance - indicates a "homosexual tendency" because introducing such a notion into young people's minds can cause them to presume that they are in fact, "homosexual" and proceed to base their subsequent relationships on that expectation where in fact, they are simply too young and inexperienced (of life and relationships in general, not just sexually) to understand their feelings.

Which is to say, if you had investigated other boys' genitals, you would already know that what you describe was perfectly normal and common, if not universal. Just for an example, take a look at this site (not that there is of course any shortage of such examples on the Internet in any case).

The other aspect of this is - why is it that you seek to pick fault with your body? What is the more general problem that you are sitting there wanting to "fix" something - why do you feel this way? Of course, we are absolutely pleased to offer you help for any aspect of your genital health and sexual activity, but does the fact that you have found yourself here indicate some other concern? If so, by all means tell us. happy.gif

generally this is not the case, i do watch a lot of porn videos, and to be honest I have yet to see little bumps on any mans penis...
I decided to post here just to make sure, as I did presume it was ok.. but better to be safe then sorry right. I do appreciate the help..

Also my bumps do go up most of the way of my penis basically.. on the back side of it.. not on the side i can see by looking down.. I know you see its rare or something to go up most of the way... This is still no danger right?

Well!

Now I thought for a moment that you had not answered my question regarding why it is that you were seeking to pick fault with your body but of course on further thought, I realise you actually have answered in full.

So, you do watch a lot of porn videos, and to be honest you have yet to see little bumps. That explains it perfectly.
