Small white dots on my junk... D:

Alt for obvious reasons.

In a monogamous relationship.
Noticed pimple like dots the size of a pinhead at the base of my junk, as well as on the underside and a couple on the glans. They look and act like acne, no itching, burning or anything like that, they are just... there.
I occasionally get acne breakouts on the pubic area, especially after trimming or shaving.

We are pretty vigorous with our extracurricular activities, she was recently on her period so when she was finally off, we went to town (three times in a night, two or so nights in a row). She shortly after started getting a yeast infection, so I'm sure we did it while it was beginning. I'm clean as is she. She's on BC, no condoms.

I'm usually good about washing after each time, just out of habit, but I didn't one night as I just fell asleep so I'm sure some stuff was left dried on over night. They are kind of in little patches, but I think it's coincidental, it seems pretty random. Mostly around the base, which could be irritation from hair growing back, but also some on the underside as stated before. The most accurate description is like pinhead sized acne really. I have fordyce's spots around as well but these are different. Also the ones on the lower end are in hair follicles, so I'm trying to convince my self it's just because her stuff is irritating my pores, but the emergence of it on the head is scary. They are all the same size/color/shape as well. D:

It's been two or so days since I noticed them, I'm going to my GP tomorrow, but should I be freaked out like I naturally am? Obviously you can't just diagnose it by words, but I'm looking for anything... I've googled a lot and that was prolly a terrible idea, but from what I've found, it is not presenting like any sort of STI(Like the hivaids/hsv2/clap).

    pearly penile papules?

    All I know is that it's a funny name, and when people would call in to loveline with exactly your symptoms, that's what Dr. Drew almost always said they were. GIS it if you dare.

    I've seen it on Google Images, and all the ones I saw were around the crown, I didn't think they could be just random around the shaft. They also contain uh pus like a zit (I had to see if it was a wart >.>)

    They're sebaceous glands, don't worry about it.

    Still have a ridiculous amount of anxiety... Why now?
    I started going to the gym too, maybe all the sweat is causing this breakout?
    I'm being irrational I'm aware, but fuck...

    If it were PPP he would have noticed it before (and it looks like he has)

    While i'd like to give you a fright and say it's genital warts, because you mentioned the yeast infection it is FAR MORE likely that the bacteria found purchase in your sweat glands around the base of your cock and caused a bit of havoc.

    Wash up, there are some treatments for yeast infections but if you keep things clean down there and don't pass it back and forth with your partner it should clear up in a week or two. It won't hurt (much) to get a broad spectrum STI test though, get yourself checked out.

    I'm gonna make the appt in the AM. How do I go about bringing this up in the least embarrassing way over the phone... Never had to get my junk checked out. Can a GP do STI testing?

    Also, it's def. not warts, I know what that looks like.
    Some are already gone and heal like acne does, (whitehead, light red, back to normal), but still way too much anxiety over this... I need a xanax...

    Don't worry about trying to phrase it in a non-embarassing way. All of the folks who work at your doctor's office will be professional enough to not laugh at "I need to make an appointment to have my pubic area examined and I would also like to schedule an STI screen." If they ask for additional information just say what you did in the OP to the effect of "I recently found some white spots at the base of my penis and the surrounding pubic area."

    I freaked out with a similar deal, fortunately it was Fordyce's spot. Look it up on wikipedia, I'd link it but its very NSFW.

    seriously

    your doctor probably handles more packages in a day than your UPS guy

    just say "hey doc i noticed white spots on my junk, i'm in a monogamous relationship etc" and he'll have a look

    Heh, cash and prizes.

    I'm going to use that one in some sort of setup involving a girl wanting to go blow some money.

    I've had a single spot like that a few times. The first time it happened was a few days after I had sex with a girl I had met for the first time. I panicked and went to the doctor the very next morning. It's harmless, but it's still annoying to have, always afraid the other person is going to think it's an STD.

    It's not much of an issue when in a relationship but picking up a girl when there's a little zit thingy on your junk might not turn out so well.

    He said it was molluscum contagiosum
    Clarified that kids usually get the virus and it is self limiting after a year or so and they never notice it. I guess the years of being germaphobic didn't help me afterall. Some relief, still embarrassing. Got an Rx to help speed it away. Hopefully it does not make my nethers fall off or something.
