Hello,
You have presently developed white sores on your foreskin, they seem to be increasing in number. It can be infection from Molluscum contagiosum virus, it commonly occurs in immunodeficient individuals who are sexually active. Avoid going into swimming pools, it is also transmitted from skin to skin contact(including sexually transmitted).
You are suggested to get clinically examined by a urologist. Get required tests and also STD tests done. You will be treated accordingly (conservative or curettage, cryotherapy, etc). Avoid sex and any sexual activity while you are being treated. Always perform safe sex & avoid multiple partners.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
