Question:

Is it normal to have hair growing on the shaft of the penis?

Answer:

Hair distribution varies greatly between men of different nationalities, but it is fairly common for men to have some hair develop on the shaft of the penis, generally near the base of the penis.

These hair follicles will also cause small bumps to appear on the shaft as the new hair begins to push its way out of the opening of the skin. These bumps fade once the hair becomes established.
