Could I Have Genital Warts From Birth? Posted: 02-22-07 02:25am
I have had white bumps on the
front-underside of my penis head since I
was 13 (I'm 17 now). At first I thought
that they might just be glands...
I remember when I started moving into
adolescence my foreskin started to detach
itself from the head to give it the
"groove" that exists under the penis
head... Now, pretty much right after that
happened, I noticed the bumps... I have 3
on one side of my frenum and 2 on the
other... They haven't grown since... But I
think they might be genital warts.
I have never had sexual contact with
anyone... But recently I also noticed tiny
little white clusters on my shaft... They
might have always been there, I don't
know, they're really small, probably about
1/20th to 1/5th of a millimeter, but they
are numerous and I'm not sure if they're
actually "Bumps;" I think it's because
they're so small to tell.
... Also, I have spots similar to the tiny
ones on my penis on my upper lips; but
even smaller, none is bigger than 1/10th
of a mm and when I pass my tongue over
them I think I feel like my lips gets a
little bit rougher. I just looked really
closely into the mirror one day and I
noticed...
Anyway what is the likeliness of
contracting genital warts from birth?
And how long will they take to go out by
themselves. I don't want to have to tell
my parents that I might have genital
warts. I feel uncomfortable talkign about
that kind of stuff with them.

usbbar; Is it possible to get genital
warts at birth? Yes but extremely rare.
Your mother would have to have them and in
a current outbreak with them. Warts are a
virus. Many people have them and their
hands and feet. If a wart breaks or the
skin is torn you can pass the virus onto
someone else. By the sounds of your
description of these small "bumps" they
are not warts at all. Probably enlarged
sebaceous glands. These glands exist in
humans throughout the skin. They secrete
the oil that moisten the skin. If this is
truly what they are relax. They are
normal and nothing to worry about. The
next time your into get a physical tell
your doctor about them and have him check
it out.

This sounds like a condition that was
discussed on the male sexual health forum;
I'd highly suggest going there, as this
sounds identical to their issues.
