Ok so I recently noticed some small flesh
coloured bumps on the glands of my penis.
I wasn't sure what they were and had
never noticed any there before. So I
went online, did some research and found a
picture of genital warts that looked very
much like what I have. So I did some
more reading on the subject just to get a
better understanding of what I might be
dealing with. Now i've only ever had 1
sexual partner and i'm the only person she
has ever had sexual contact with. We've
been together for 7 years, she's had pap
tests done every year and nothing has
shown up on her end and this is the first
time i've ever noticed this. We've
always used a condom with spermicidal
lubricant. So I guess i'm just wondering
how I would have contracted this virus if
we both have only had sexual contact with
each other, and have always used a condom.
I have a doctor's appointment next week
to determine whether or not it is genital
warts. But after looking at a few
pictures, I am confident that that's what
it is. Any feedback would be
appreciated, thanks.

Genital warts spreads with condoms.
Maybe she cheated.

I talked to her about it and she insures
me that she hasn't fooled around with
anyone else and I believe her and have
always trusted her completely. Is there
no other way to contract the virus besides
skin on skin contact in the genital area?

I am no doctor, but my understanding is
you need contact, and even then it doesn't
always spread, so the probability of it
jumping onto you from the guy next to you
on the bus is probably very
unlikely...Unless you got really close on
that bus...

I had a urologist take a look and he said
it was normal. But for whatever reason
i'm still worried about it. It's been a
month since I noticed these very small
white bumps, almost like a white head
pimple but smaller, they aren't going away
and I don't understand why they would just
appear one day with no warning. I wish I
could remember what the urologist said it
was but I can't. Argh! I was just so
relieved that it was normal that I totally
forgot what he said. I had recently been
attempting to desensitize the head of my
penis by rolling back my foreskin and
keeping it that way while I walked around.
I read this works well and it has. I
was trying to desensitize it because i'm
getting circumsized and figured I might as
well do it now and get use to it before
hand so it's not so sensitive after the
operation. Could this have attributed to
these white things? I have no clue.
They aren't all over the head of my penis,
just localized around the rim, you can't
even see them unless you push the head
downwards. Also, my girlfriend hasn't
shown any signs of genital herpes and
she's gone for yearly pap tests since we
started dating so chances are it's not the
worst that I fear. I don't know why it
still bothers me though.

Well I think i've figured it out, lol, a
matter of minutes after just posting.
From what I recall and from what i've just
been reading it's cysts due to dryness.
That would make sense since the head of my
penis is dryer these days since I keep the
foreskin rolled back every know and then.
Thanks for the feedback though, much
appreciated.

You can get Genital warts from birth. It's
supposed to be rare, but it happens. I've
had bumps since I was 13 and they never
went away and I never had sexual contact
with anyone.
