Warts or more Fordyce? (Pictures) (Male)

I have had fordyce spots on my shaft and head for many years now (2 pics of those).

I have noticed some bumps under my foreskin when I pull it back. Not sure if this is fordyce or what...

Have a look?

**UPDATE**

I stopped at the STD clinic and the nurse informed it that it was only Fordyce Spotss. Very common. Nothing to worry about. I will leave the pictures up for others to see.

Pictures here: http://*****.com/a/O2AOv

Picture 1: Fordcye spots on my shaft
Picture 2: pearly penile papules under the rim of my head
Pictures 3-9: Fordyce spots under my foreskin


All normal. Not transmitted through sexual activity. Hope this helps others.

Hello,
The symptoms are suggestive of Fordyce spots. They 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. The spots are a form of ectopic sebaceous gland, and 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.

They should be got removed only for cosmetic reasons as they are normally found on the penis.

It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.

I'm no expert but it looks like fordyce spots on the first picture like mines.
