Do I have HPV?

[johnny32]

About 4 months ago, I recieved oral sex from another man. A month ago, white spots appeared on the head of my penis. These spots are not raised at all and have not changed at all. They are the same texture as the surrounding area. It basically just looks like a discoloration under the skin. About 4 weeks after these spots appeared, my genitals started to itch, however this was also when the weather became much warmer. The itching is never on the head of the penis where the spots are, and is instead mainly on the shaft of the penis, which is also quite sensitive, or around the anus or scrotum, usually where there is pubic hair. I dont actually know if the spots and the itching are related at all. Does this sound anything like HPV? Should I get tested?

Also, about 1 week before the spots appeared, I was taking the antibiotic Cefdinir for a throat infection, which may have actually been mono.

Your symptoms are not typical of HPV and you had a low if no 0 risk from a one time oral sex exposure.

You can get chlamydia gonorrhea and syphilis via oral sex but you should post in the STD forum on those. Again the risk from a single exposure is very low and there is a lower risk if you are the reciever than if you are the giver.

There are many none sexual skin conditions, we can't help you know what you have only a dermatologist can. The spots might be Fordyce spots, you could have a yeast skin infection, tinea versicolor or molluscum contagiosum.

First off: Its very very difficult to contract warts/HPV through oral sex. And the itchy-ness usually doesn't come in a Rash style. I would definitely get checked out though, for other STD's. I do know that some types of mono can cause itching. Hang in there, buddy!
