Question

Hello

there are not big and not read but I just wondering if they are genital herpes?
I have had gay sex once about 1 year ago. ( bad choise!!)
so can you please tell me what they could be.

Answer 1

If you had been exposed to genital herpes, you would have seen the lesions long before now...usually within two weeks after exposure.

It is quite possible that you are talking about Fordyce's spots. If they are Fordyce's spots, there is nothing to be done. There is no way to prevent them as they are thought to be sebacious glands. They are harmless, very common and most doctors refuse to treat them. Shower or wash as you always do as it has no impact at all.

The only treatment available is vaporizing laser therapy and, as I stated above, most doctors refuse to treat them. Believe it or not, Fordyce's spots are very common and very normal! Do not try to pop them or sqeeze them...it won't get rid of them and will only hurt the tissue of your penis.

Here is a photo to show you what they look like:

If this is not what they look like or you are still concerned, please see a urologist.

Yes, there isn't any. Herpes is caused by a virus. Actually, there is little cure for viruses nowadays. The only thing that you can generally do in the case of a viral infection is strengthen the immune system and hope it fights it off. Not with Herpes, the immune system can't win against it. Thus you only get to treat the symptoms. Once you're infected, it stays with you for life. So don't get infected.

Personal experience. I have had genital herpes for over 5 years.

Most commonly is HPV, or genital warts, also could be herpes...might even be just skin tags, and nothing to worry about. Go ask your Doc!
