About 6 months ago, I went to my dermatologist because I had several large spots on my penis, one of which was on the head of my penis. I naturally thought it was herpes or some other kind of STD. She said that it wasn’t an STD and diagnosed me with impetigo, which is often seen in younger children. She took a swab test and sent it to a lab…it came back and she was correct. It was a bacterial infection (impetigo). I used some topical ointment and in about a week everything went away. I believe I cought this from a girl I was dating at the time. I noticed these spots about a day after having sex with her. My dermatologist said she could have had a yeast infection or something like that….anyway…..moving on.
about 2-3 months ago I started dating a new girl - who I consider my girlfriend and expect to be with for a very long time…around the same time we started having sex - i noticed a handful of very small dots on my penis shaft…almost like white heads…in no particular order…randomly spread about…. i thought nothing of these as they were very very small…move forward to present time…they’ve been here now for about 3 months, and i’ve noticed a few more - and i suppose they could be a little bigger…1mm maybe…they look like the could be white heads… i’m 25 years old by the way with a circumsized penis…they don’t hurt or itch and they don’t bother me at all…but i am always tempted to pick at them… i try my best not to. I’m going to the dermatologist again this monday to see what she thinks they are. any ideas from you all out there?
I’m also going to ask for some STD testing… i have been sexually active since college - i’ve practiced safe sex maybe 50% of the time which i know is horrible…i also know that it’s possible that i could have caught something from someone 6 years ago in college and it not show up til now….either way - i have about a dozen small white dots on the shaft of my penis, some towards the base and some that move closer to the head…again, they don’t hurt or itch but are more of just an eye sore to me. Please give me some ideas here.
I’ve done a bit of research - and it’s always so easy to freak yourself out a bit - however every pictures of an STD seems to be pictures at the worst possible stages of the disease… it looks like it could be sebaceous prominence (glands) - but then again, i don’t really know. i’m hoping it’s not an HPV such as warts. although again, i don’t believe it looks anything like that or have had anything close to those symptoms…
Thanks for any input.
It's a little sad and pathetic that people who don't have anything worth while to input, waste mine and their own time typing something in.
grow up.

Tiny white dots… Sounds like harmless Fordyce Spots which are naturally-occurring in virtually all men.
Google it for more info!

Maybe they’re pearly penile papules.

Hello
Well it sounds like you have Fordyce Spots, it is completely normal, i have them as well and before i knew what they were i was completely scared thinking i had an std, They are not able to remove them unless u have a surgery wich i believe burns them, i highly recommend you just leave them since they dont affect you in any way
Hope i helped
