      if they are not fordyce spots, there might be a chance they're genital warts

      well, they kind of look like fordyce spots (totally harmless) but if they appear elsewhere and you have symptoms (like abnormal discharge or pain/discomfort), it might be an std

    There is a misconception that HSV-2 is only on the genitals and that HSV-1 is only oral and that is 100% not true. It is very much possible to have HSV-1 of the penis (or vulva in women), given that you have never had an oral outbreak, it is likely that your HSV-1 infection is on your penis and that is what your are depicting.
