So- my boyfriend showed me something different today and it's made me really worried.

Yes- we are sexually active, but I've been taking the pill just to make sure that pregnancy doesn't occur. Unfortunately it was still unprotected. We're both pubesent (I'm 18, he's 17- we've been together for about 10 months now). His sympotms only appeared around two days ago so I'm not sure how long he'll have to endure it or if it'll just 'go away'.

So my boyfriend has small white dots on the underside of his foreskin, at the tip of his head and small amounts along the shaft. There are red rash like marks that I can only assume are caused by the clusters of little white dots. These don't appear anywhere else (such as at the base, scrotum or buttocks). It's not inflamed (he claims it doesn't burn). It apparantly feels irritated and the rash is the major discomfort for him, though he still feels that the dots are the cause of the rash. According to him the irritation stops when pressure is applied.

We've decided that he should take a rest for a while. As much discomfort as he's in he still doesn't want to ask or talk about it with anybody else so I've gone looking through medical sites for information with the known symptoms.

I've concidered Fungus and skin irritations but I think an STD or an STI would be the most likely cause. I'm genuinely concerned for him but I can't explain the symptoms apart from what I've seen and what he's told me- I'm not experiencing whatever he is experiencing.

I'm worried and if anybody can match the symptoms to something I'll be really grateful. He doesn't want to see a MD even though I've offered to take him in and pay for any and all the costs associated with it.

Thanks for anyhelp.
