Question:
Answers:
Hi
I doubt they are Genital Warts, as they usually come from people with many sexual partners or do not practice safe sex. There are a number of things you can do to find out.

I don't know about genital warts but if they are small white things which are more noticable when you have an erection then they are sweat glands. I felt a bit foolish after my doctor told me but guys generally don't look at each other penises so how would we know.
If you are uncertain then speak to your doctor, they don't mind answering your questions.
maybe just skin tags.. check it out anyway,, your only anumber at the docs so dont be embarrassed
I don't think these are warts. I think they are tiny glands. If you are at all worried you should make an appointment at your local GUM or 'special' clinic and have a test to put your mind at rest.
70% of people 17-25 have HPV and do not know it, it can be genetic, spread by bacteria on surfaces, and by sexual intercourse. Don't fret...HPV doesn't always mean a person has warts but if warts are present on a person anywhere he/she does have a form of HPV. There are so many strands of this virus it is alarming. It is even more so alarming that people usually assume it can only be transmitted sexually. The lack of knowledge on HPV might stem from the negative stigma and people would rather not think about it. What you have sounds odd...because you've had no sexual contact. If you had a wart on your finger and touched said area you could have possibly spread it. It is really a very complicated subject. I have never heard of virgins with genital warts-- it may be something else, but please get it checked out. Don't be such a "worry wart" and know your facts for a healthier future. : )
genital warts react to exposure to vinegar. it is difficult to see genital warts on males. if you soak the suspected area in vinegar for 15 to 30 minutes and observe the area in question under a bright light with a magnifying glass genital warts will appear white. the rest of the skin won't. it is a simple test that is suggested by some drs.
warts are easy to spread and aren't necessarily sexually transmitted. if you find white spots go to the dr.
warts are caused by the human pappiloma virus. you get them through skin to skin contact, so technically you don't have to have had penetrative sex to have caught them. they are harmless to you, and they are very treatable. i wouldn't buy remedies yourself, i would go to your local clinic and get them properly diagnosed and treated first. the virus lies dormant in the skin when warts are not present, and may be triggered from time to time, but they are completely harmless.
Hiya, Firstly, it might not be warts so you need to get checked out to put your mind at rest. Secondly, yes you can get warts even though you have not had sexual contact. This is because the HPV is a virus you can catch like a cold! So a nurse told me. But if it is the worst case its not a problem, you can get rid of them by having them frozen off by your Doctor. What ever happens get them checked out at the GUM clinic at your local hospital, and don't be embarrassed, they see it ever day, its their job. Good luck.
