    Hard bumps under the skin in the middle of the penis may be caused by folliculitis, sebaceous adenoma, genital warts, etc., and require symptomatic treatment according to different causes.

    1. Folliculitis

    The penis is often in an internally ventilated area. Failure to maintain local hygiene can easily cause bacterial and fungal infections, leading to hair follicle blockage. It can be treated with mupirocin ointment, erythromycin ointment and other drugs under the guidance of a doctor.

    2. Sebaceous adenoma

    Excessive secretion of sebaceous glands will form a large amount of oil accumulation. Blockage of the sebaceous gland ducts will result in the inability to discharge the contents. Amoxicillin capsules, cephalosporin capsules and other drugs can be used for treatment under the guidance of a doctor.

    3. Genital warts

    Infection with human papillomavirus may cause genital warts, which are usually spread through sexual contact. They can be treated with podophyllotoxin ointment, imiquimod cream and other drugs under the guidance of a doctor.

    In addition to the common causes mentioned above, there may also be smegma accumulation caused by excessive foreskin, so local hygiene care must be strengthened.
