What Could Cause Tiny Red Spots On Penis?

Hi, I have a question about tiny raised spots on my penis. I've had clusters of tiny bumps - 1mm or less - on my foreskin since early childhood (at least age 6), and so assumed they were normal for years. Recently I happened across an article about warts, and it made me concerned that I have genital warts. I have never been sexually active (other than solo masturbation), and as I said, these clusters of tiny bumps have been present since early childhood. Hence, I don't know what to make of them. They are not painful, itchy or moist, and are the same colour as the skin they occur on.

Hello
Thanks for query .The small red spots on glans penis and foreskin are Perly Papules of Penis.

They are seen in many individuals and are not due to any pathological lesion hence of no significance at all .

As regards about your fear of these spots being genital warts I would state that genital warts are transmitted through sexual intercourse with infected female partner and not otherwise .

Observe proper personal hygiene by cleaning genital area with warm water twice daily .
