      Doesn't look like herpes.  My best guess would be Tyson's glands (though not everyone agrees that they really exist), or maybe pearly penile papules.

      You already said it's not an STI, but there's a (small) chance they could be tiny warts, so has any doctor actually seen them?  If you've ever had sex with anyone who's ever had sex with anyone else (even if it's years ago), then there's a chance you've picked up the HPV virus which can lie dormant for years.

      If you haven't had them checked out by a doctor, I'd get them looked at, just to be on the safe side.  You could either see your GP, or if you're in the UK, you could go to a genitourinary medicine (GUM) clinic - google "GUM clinic near me" for details.

      If you could update this thread and tell us what the doctors say, it would be appreciated.  Good luck.

      Ok thank you . I will go as soon as I can maybe in the next couple of weeks. Quite busy working at the moment. Also if it was hpv would the spots ever go or would they always be there ? Is there any creams or something I could try now ?

      If they are warts (which I think is unlikely), they might disappear by themselves, or be very resistant to treatment and keep coming back.  Your spots are so small though, that if they were warts, they'd probably be easy to treat.  I don't think there's anything you can get over the counter which would help though.

      HPV is very common btw and most people don't have any symptoms.  The Center for Disease Control in the US says this "HPV is so common that nearly all sexually active men and women get the virus at some point in their lives."

      Hi Kaye!

      I don't think that you should worry about that!  Those little things are currently showing on lots of penises.  If that stress you too much, show that to your Doctor!

      Yes, pic has appeared! The spots look pretty harmless to me. Maybe blocked pores? A bit like I used to get on my oily skin as a teenager 50 years ago!

      It's important to only use the correct substances. Check with your doctor or a sexual health clinic.

    Hello I want to open this discussion again for more advice and opinions. There still bugging me. I used to be really paranoid about stds especially hiv but even after testing negetive I worry that it could be some new type of std or something. My picture has been uploaded before. Also after stressing and searching the internet I’ve found similar pictures which I’ll try to link after this. I cannot get on a computer. Trying to upload pictures is difficult

      You need to be on a PC or laptop to add pictures.  If you are, then you should see some extra icons towards the top right of where you type, and the right hand icon (which I think is supposed to look like the sun over hills) will add images.
