I wore a condom while having sex with a random girl 2 weeks ago and now some bumps started to appear. I'm scared its genital herpes because even if you wear condom there's still chance to catch it. I don't have the flu like symptoms but it gets itchy and it looks like something under foreskin of my penis. Looks like warts but not really sure. Is this something to worry about?

    looks like warts but it could also be an allergic reaction to the condom or a new soap? people with eczema usually break out in thick patchy rashes ( i have eczema) youre only going to find out by going to the doctors though..

      I went to see a dermatologist today and he said they're not warts but common sebaceous glands and there's nothing to worry about.
