Q: Tiny white spots on foreskin?

asked by: DoctorQuestion on March 31st, 2009

I hv really tiny white dot (less then 0.5mm in diameter each) on the inside of my foreskin. It appears the day after i had unprotected oral sex. It feels itchy at times. i am uncircumcised. and my foreskin is not retractable at all..I only notice it after i pull back my foreskin slightly. it doesnt appear as bumps.. and doesnt feel painful when i touch it. There is no discharge... and its not painful when i pee. Could this be herpes? its been 5 days now... and its still there.

The white dot you reported is not characteristic for sexually transmitted diseases. It is hard to say what the dot is without seeing it. Since there are no other symptoms than the dot itself, you might want to see an urologist for the dot if it does not disappear in two weeks.
