| Normal variations: *Pearly penile papules are raised bumps of somewhat paler color around the base of the glans and are normal. *Fordyce's spots are small, raised, yellowish-white spots 1–2 mm in diameter that may appear on the penis. *"Sebaceous prominences" are raised bumps similar to Fordyce's spots on the shaft of the penis, located at the sebaceous glands and are normal. *Phimosis is an inability to retract the foreskin fully, is harmless in infancy and pre-pubescence, occurring in about 8% of boys at age 10. According to the British Medical Association, treatment (steroid cream, manual stretching) does not need to be considered until age 19. *Curvature: few penises are completely straight, with curves commonly seen in all directions (up, down, left, right). Sometimes the curve is very prominent but it rarely inhibits sexual intercourse. Curvature as great as 30° is considered normal and medical treatment is rarely considered unless the angle exceeds 45°. Changes to the curvature of a penis may be caused by Peyronie's disease. |
