Dr. Jitesh Bhatt MD – Opinion
Based on your description, these 5–6 tiny whitish, painless, non-itchy, non-growing bumps under the foreskin are most likely NORMAL anatomical glands, such as:
✅ Pearly Penile Papules (PPP) or
✅ Fordyce spots / sebaceous glands
These are NOT an
STD in most cases, especially because:
No pain
No burning
No discharge
No ulcer/wound
No rapid increase
No cauliflower-like growth
Not spreading
Why they came back after puncturing?
Because these are natural skin glands, not pus pimples.
So when punctured, they may temporarily flatten and then reappear again.
⚠️ Please don’t puncture them again, because it can cause:
infection
swelling
scarring
secondary bacterial balanitis

STD Safety Note
Even with protected sex, I recommend routine screening once in a while for peace of mind:
HIV (4th gen)
VDRL/RPR (Syphilis)
HBsAg (Hepatitis B)
Anti-HCV (Hepatitis C)

Final Summary
Most likely these are benign, normal anatomical bumps (PPP/Fordyce). No treatment is required unless they are cosmetically bothering you.
