please help, stds problems

im 16 and im really concerned about stds and me having one. there are these shinny redish bumps on my penis shaft and on the head of my penis. sometimes, theres a little sting or tingle on my penis, doesnt hurt that much.

For one, i had given and recieved oral sex when i was really young (about elementary school) with two guys (im straight, back then i didnt know any better). Neither of them have cold sores, herepes virus 1. since then, i havent been sexually active.

These redish bumps have been on my penis for as long as i can remember and they have never gone away.

im a weird kid, when i shower i never dry off my penis and just put my underwear on. also, ive been using hand soap on my penis and sometimes masterbaited in the shower with the soap. i dont know if this ties into any of this.

i would really appreciate any feedback, thank you

Nick1994, What we say on this forum is meant to help no matter what. We are not here to say stuff in order to sugarcoat it but we are here to assist anyway we can. Oral herpes can be passed on from mother to child however it does not happen all the time. Listen, the only way you can be sure on your end is to get this evaluated by physician to see what's up.

I cannot say what is this then but the only way is observation and a physician help. I cannot diagnose you any further because I have already broken that rule here and I am not a physician. The only thing I can say is just go to the office, say your piece, and get examined. I am sorry if I cannot do anything else but at least I can encourage you to go.

This is normal and if you want at some point in your life, you could get them removed. But one thing: is what I mentioned somewhere along the lines of what you may be experiencing?

You might be experiencing a common skin condition on the penis known as pearly penile papules. This is absolutely normal for males including teenagers. If you have been having them for the longest time, then, clearly this is the case. You say they are located at the rim, the head and on the penile shaft and you say you could only see them when you stretch the skin? I think all this time you may have been paying attention too closely to something you had for a long time. I cannot be for sure but I am sure this is the only thing I could think of.
