HPV from lubricant

HPV from lubricant

3 months ago, i used some lubricant belonging to a female friend (who is lesbian) at the time i was unsure of the last time she used it, and thought nothing of it. Two months later, there is a slight redness on my glans (glands), but after several trips to the doctor, and testing, i have come back with negative results for Chlamydia and Ghonerrea. My doc is also sure that i do not have herpes. So the redness is totally normal, with no worry, but currently i am now worried about HPV, after noticing a couple of tiny slightly whitish bumps (The size of a pinhead, if not smaller) right next to my urethra. The doctor did not notice these during the exam, but i am still worried.

They do not itch.
They have been there for a month or two (this was when i first noticed them - paranoia is making me notice ANY tiny detail on my penis now)
They are extremely small, the dic didnt even notice them under light.
They are not textured like cauliflower at all

So now i have two questions:
1) Can HPV be spread through lubricant? JUST lubricant, i was not touched by her, and do not know whether she has HPV
2) Do these symptoms sound anything like HPV?

Thanks!

a side note, the bumps would actually be even smaller than a pinhead, probably half the size, and have not changed at all in 2 months.

I first noticed these about a month after using the lubricant, maybe slightly longer.

Thanks!

Your situation seems pretty cut and dry even over the internet.  

No, you cannot get HPV from some lube.  Plus, it hasn't even been used in a while so that further solidifies it even if further solidifying is necessary, which it's not.  

You don't have warts.  At least not from that experience.  What you describe is most likely not warts, what you notice are perhaps fordyce spots. Check it out.  If it's not then I geuss just make an appointment and show it to find out for sure but it seems pretty obvious that you are only discovering things you didn't know about your anatomy down there because you are looking in a paranoid manner.

It's almost certainly nothing. It does not sound like HPV.

I have fordyce spots, but they are definitely different to these bumps! Thank you for your reply though, and i will check it out with the doc. If anyone else has any advice, please express it! (: thanks!
