Hey I am a virgin too and I totally understand you when you say you cant tell ur mom. My moms caring and all but when it comes to health related stuff I just absolutely cant tell her. Anyways I think I have those too except mine are all over the slimy parts lol. I dont know what they are but they seem to be progressing. Go to google and type grain-de-fordyce in the image search (thats some french word I think lol idk how I found it but thank god I did). Is the genital one what urs looks like? It is basically what mine looks like. I think what we have is fordyces disease but I cant be sure. You dont have to treat it or anything. I hope its what I have.

Grain-de-fordyce is an enlargement of sebaceous glands and it looks nearly exactly like what I have. I hope that's what it is, even though it is ugly :(.

I'm still worried though, because there was a genital herpes outbreak in my school and we were told that it was spread through contact with the desk chairs. I worry that I may have inadvertently given myself herpes by not washing my hands or something.

Yes its rather ugly lol. But yea it looks like what I have too... Idk if I have herpes, but I know herpes are like coldsores on ur genitals that turn into blisters then pop then go away.

I found this website, which was very reassuring:

earlier this morning I tried to look it up online and had found some information, but from what i'd heard blocked sebaceous glands were large. Turns out they can be small too, thank god.

(well the site isn't working, but if you look up "sebaceous genitals" the first website that comes up on google is it)

Thanks! That is reassuring, although I doubt mine will clear up. Sorry if I sent another post like this, my compuer is acting up. Anyways, herpes is like cold sores that turn to blisters, then pop and disappear. I dont think it is what we have.

Herpes cannot be spread from sitting on desk chairs. It's spread through direct skin to skin contact.

Thank you. I recently found out that what I have are "pearly papules" which are harmless and due to hormones. Apparently most teenagers get them.

Well... On the first entry you had mentioned that you were not sexually active.. I think I may be older than you and in my many years of experience the only way to get an std like warts or herpes is through skin to skin contact... Maybe oral sex? Are you sexually active if not you are being paronoid and need to see a doctor to confirm what they are or are not.

Ps.. It could also be caused by shaving the area ... If you do

Herpes hurt! Herpe sores are useally very tender to the touch, guys get what you have too and it comes useally with new hair growth. Popping them if they get large is ok but if you pop a bunch of small ones you may end up with it being hurtful when you walk. This is what my wife did when she was young and she learned quickly not to worry about them and they went away as she got older. Apparently sometimes it's caused by hormone changes.
