genital warts?

hi there,

I am a sexually active 24 yr old (I always use protection with all my partners) and I have noticed these small raised bumps that appeared on my foreskin about a month ago (there are about 4-5 of them). They haven't changed in size - in fact after applying a skin cream on them and leaving it on overnight, they seem to shrink and are barely visible in the morning. They are about 2mm in diameter and are flesh colored. About once a day I feel them itching slightly. After masturbating they seem a little larger than usual and are more irritated. I was wondering if this sounds like genital warts? or is it just some scarring of the foreskin?

They're probably not warts, but rather small cysts that are common on the genitals.  To know for sure, you'll need to show them to a doctor.

Take care.
