please help, stds problems

im 16 and im really concerned about stds and me having one. there are these shinny redish bumps on my penis shaft and on the head of my penis. sometimes, theres a little sting or tingle on my penis, doesnt hurt that much.

For one, i had given and recieved oral sex when i was really young (about elementary school) with two guys (im straight, back then i didnt know any better). Neither of them have cold sores, herepes virus 1. since then, i havent been sexually active.

These redish bumps have been on my penis for as long as i can remember and they have never gone away.

im a weird kid, when i shower i never dry off my penis and just put my underwear on. also, ive been using hand soap on my penis and sometimes masterbaited in the shower with the soap. i dont know if this ties into any of this.

i would really appreciate any feedback, thank you

Nick1994, What we say on this forum is meant to help no matter what. We are not here to say stuff in order to sugarcoat it but we are here to assist anyway we can. Oral herpes can be passed on from mother to child however it does not happen all the time. Listen, the only way you can be sure on your end is to get this evaluated by physician to see what's up.

A lot of things can be passed down from mother to child. HSV could, hepatitis, Syphilis, and even HIV but you know what: those transmission rarely occur, especially, from childbirth. Now childhood experiences such as yourself happens and I do not know what to say about that other than to say you have nothing to worry about but you need to get examined about this concern, not by me or anybody here on this site, but, by a qualified physician or dermatological expert.

thanks a bunch aelly, i cant express my gratitude enough. next doctors visit i will ask him. i come from a small town in CT and hopefully thatd lower the chances. im also relieved that those transformations come rarely. isnt it true that mothers get tested before labor anyways? and could knowing before hand assure the baby doesnt get the std?

Yes, mothers are checked out during labor and pregnancy before, during, and after the event.

ok so if they did find the std in the mother theyd do a procedure so the baby wouldnt acquire it? was this available in the 90's?
