Hi i have had this for quite some time now. I am 17 and although I've had sex with 4 different people, I am almost certain none of them had any sort of genital herpes or STD's, and I always used condoms. They are small lumps on the underside of my penis and all over my ballsack. THey look like they could be pimples but they are just tiny white lumps. they do not itch or anything like that and are not 'furry' or inflamed in anyway. Im really scared that ive got genital warts or something and I need 2 know if i do. Any help?

Fordyce's spots (also known as angiokeratoma of the scrotum or Fordyce's disease[1]) are small, painless, raised, pale or white spots or bumps 1 to 3 mm in diameter that may appear on the shaft of the penis or on the labia, as well as the inner surface and vermilion border of the lips of the face. They are common in men and women of all ages. They are named after an American dermatologist, John Addison Fordyce.[2] On the head of the penis, they are called Tyson glands,[3] not to be confused with Hirsuties papillaris genitalis.[4]
The spots are a form of ectopic sebaceous gland: normally, sebaceous glands are only found in association with a hair follicle. They are not known to be associated with any disease or illness and are of cosmetic concern only. They are non-infectious and a natural occurrence on the body. Men sometimes consult with a dermatologist because they are worried they may have a sexually transmitted disease (especially genital warts) or some form of cancer, but this is not the case.[5] They may equally be worried about the appearance of their penis and what their sexual partner might think of it.[6]
