What should I about foreskin with some bumps on it that doesn't retract.
So this is a dual issue. I am a 23 year old male who just recently lost his virginity and is currently in a relationship. However I had received oral sex about 1 year ago.
I noticed a few days ago some bumps on my foreskin. They are small and reddish white and there are about 6 of them. Not really clustered up in any way though.
There is no irritation except for a minor itch that comes and goes.
However when looking up information about it I have come to realize that my foreskin is supposed to retract behind the head of my penis. I had never known that or done it. During sex it never retracted though i felt some pain when it was pulled back. I thought that was abnormal and so i stopped it.
I was a bit worried about possible STD from the 1 year ago encounter but this has only popped up after losing my virginity and I have had an STD test about a month ago and everything was clear. I believe she is clear as she has only had one partner before me.
Last night I pulled back my foreskin (painfully) for the first time in my life and didn't notice any abnormalities on the head of my penis. It then got stuck but I was eventually able to pull it back over.
Id like to add that growing up i did have pimples sometimes on my penis and some irritation from time to time. Having been a virgin and never knowing about retracting my penis I assumed it was normal. But it was never 6 different ones at once. Usually 1 maybe 2.
So with all of that said I was wondering:
1. If anyone had any idea what the small bumps are. I am worried they might be HPV genital warts but I think it could also be balanitis. I do not think they are herpes.
2. Could I have gotten genital warts from receiving Oral Sex. I highly doubt it would have come from my partner but nothing popped up until this week?
3. What do I do about retracting my foreskin. I did it once yesterday but it hurt and got stick for a few minutes and I am very fearful of doing it again.
I do plan on seeing a Doctor very soon but until then some answers would put my mind at ease.
