Whiteheads On Penis Shaft, Had Unprotected Sex. STD Or Some Other Illness?
I've been getting whiteheads on penis shaft lately. It all started after unprotected sex with my girlfriend Monday night. The first bump appeared Thursday, and the Third appeared Sunday. The bumps look like the typical white heads you get on your face. The bumps are not grouped together. Is it an STD or just some other illness?

Hi and welcome to Healthcare magic. Thank you for your querry.
It sounds like STD and this must be ruled out first,but some other disorders can cause it as well such as allergy reaction, irritation or other bacterial infections YOu should do urethral swab test to investigate the exact causative agent. It can be viral or bacterial infection,bu tin your case probably bacterial. if there is discharge,pain while urinating or pain in testicles it can be complicated urogenital infection. Wish you good health.
