Question:
I'm a 16 year old male and haven't yet had sexual experiences with anybody. However, over the past year I've been keeping a close eye on what I think might be a possible problem although I don't know how long I've had it. I have noticed tiny, white, slightly raised dots covering a large part of my foreskin and don't know what they are. From pictures I've seen and books I've read I'm almost positive they're not genital warts and I've been told that you can only catch genital warts through sexual contact. Also, they only cover my foreskin and not anywhere else. As I have said, I do not know how long I have had these and may even have had them all my life. Please could you help as this has got me worried about starting sexual relations and is beginning to harm my confidence. Many thanks.

Thank you for submitting your question. Before you worry about future sexual relations, let’s deal with what is going on now. Because I am not a medical doctor, I cannot tell you exactly what these raised dots are. Genital warts (HPV) can be contracted through sexual contact, so chances are, what you are experiencing is not HPV. I suggest seeing your doctor and finding out what this is. You are not alone; so don’t be nervous about talking to a person in the medical community. It is important to have this checked out so that you can stay healthy and do not lose your confidence. I hope this information helps. Take care. Reviewed by Sexual Health Editorial Team
