    Small hard bumps under the skin of the penis may be caused by folliculitis, subcutaneous cysts, lipomas, etc., and should be treated symptomatically according to the cause.

    1. Folliculitis

    Most of them are caused by inflammation of the local hair follicles under the skin of the penis, which is prone to folliculitis and hard pimples. Drugs such as erythromycin ointment and mupirocin ointment can be used under the guidance of a doctor.

    2. Subcutaneous cyst

    It is usually caused by the difficulty in excretion of local secretions under the skin of the penis, and it is easy to sweat and cause the symptoms of small hard bumps. It can generally be treated with minimally invasive surgery.

    3. Lipoma

    It may be caused by the strong secretion of fat under the skin of the penis, which is prone to lipomas and small hard bumps. When it is larger, it needs to be removed and treated by minimally invasive surgery or surgery in a regular hospital.

    In addition to the above reasons, there may also be reasons such as Peyronie's disease, which require relevant examinations and treatments.
