what's the difference?

Heelo,

I would like to get some help from anyone pls,

Without seeing a doctor can anyone tell me what's the difference between a regular pimple, red small dot and a wart?

Do they look exactly the same?

Pls help!

Thanks for replying, it really looks like a small zit or pimple flat red small dot,

I have another question about warts, from the moment they are microscopic to the moment they are visible how long usually takes? A week? A month?

And last A question about another skin variation I have on my penis, I have white dots that look like hair follicles except for one that sticks out more than the rest.

I can onlybsee this white dot if I stretch my foreskin, would a wart be visible regardless of stretching?

The reason I ask here instead of going to a dermatologist (which would be better) is am out of a job and I'm uninsured, any info I have here I'll appreciate it.

A red dot is not a wart. That usually is from blood and it shows up red on your skin. But warts come in many colors and sizes. If there is any doubt, go see a dermatologist.
