I've noticed some bumps on the shaft of my penis and I think I've got an ingrown hair too. I'm really not sure what's going on. What do you think I should do about this?

For bumps on the penis shaft and ingrown hairs, try gentle exfoliation with a warm washcloth, avoid tight clothing, and use a gentle shaving cream or trimmer to reduce hair ingrowth; apply topical creams like hydrocortisone or tea tree oil to soothe inflammation, and consider consulting a dermatologist or urologist to rule out underlying conditions like folliculitis, keratosis pilaris, or genital warts.
