Are small itchy spots on arms and penis signs of herpes?

Is this herpes or something else ?
Molluscum contagiosum most probably
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome to HCM...
I read history and saw photos. After that I could conclude that most probably you may be having Molluscum contagiosum. It is a contagious skin disease characterised by nonitchy,whitish,umbilicated,scattered papular eruptions. It is caused by pox virus.
It is not serious one. It is not herpes progenitalis. So, please do not worry. However, you consult the dermatologist.
After thorough examination and investigations,he might come to some conclusion regarding the diagnosis and its treatment.
I would suggest electrocautery of each lesion under local anaesthesia. Other mode of therapy are chemical cautery by trichloro acetic acid,cryotherapy and laser.
I would also suggest to take immunomodulator like levamisole for few weeks to few months to prevent the relapse.
I hope this would satisfy you. If you have any more query, you are welcome.
Thanks..

Molluscum contagiosum most probably
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome back
Molluscum contagiosum is caused by one of the pox viruses- molluscipox virus. It is a specific virus causing Molluscum contagiosum. It is not human papilloma virus. It is different one. It causes other disease called wart or verruca.
So, stay relaxed. You and your girlfriend are not having hpv.
Molluscum contagiosum is not found on tongue. So, let her go to oral surgeon or dermatologist to have diagnosis for tongue lesions. The lesions on neck may be Molluscum contagiosum. Your dermatologist will confirm diagnosis after seeing her personally.
This might clear your doubt about your disease.
Thanks.
