A lot of small bumps around my corona, plus painful urination
ok i'll get to the point, this is genital related. i'll try my best to be as clear and descriptive as possible. the opening of my penis (the urethra i think that is what it's called) became swollen a couple days ago, but it didn't take long to go down. and also i have a minor burning sensation, at the lips or urethral when i urinate (i'm sorry if i'm not making much sense i'm not exactly sure what the parts are called) aswell as a small discharge which looks like pre-ejaculation. and the last factor is that around are corona are a lot of small bumps that are like the same color as my skin or maybe lighter, though at the same time a see around two or three dark areas but i'm not sure if that was there before or not (or the area right were the tip makes the arrow like shape) ok and i'll now explain the thing i was doing around the time this occured. i only drank pepsi soda for five days straight (my urine started to burn around the third or forth day) and i noticed that my corona became swollen and what appears to be slightly inflammed after masterbation, this one being very rough. by the way i haven't had sex or any sexual interaction with anyone, i haven't dry humped, touched any parts of anyone's genital area, nor have they touched mine. i haven't even kissed anyone, i'm a complete virgin tha haven't had any sexual or intimate interactions. the most i've done is hug while fully clothed... i know thats a bit of info but i can't afford to leave out any detail >_<

Hi,
I really could not get a clear view as the pics were blurry and appear as if they were taken under poor illumination.
Did you follow the link I had pasted in my last post? and if yes, does it match what you have?
Additionally, there are nonsexual modes of transmission of HPV and these include transmission from mother to child during the process of birth and also by coming into contact with urogenital secretions of infected individuals through sharing of same towels and other articles of personal use.
HPV does not cause any significant problems as such and I don't think you have genital warts. They will be raised and sometimes look like they are on a small stalk and they pull away from the underlying skin. This would not be so in penile papulosis.
HPV may cause precancerous lesions after the infection has been present for several years, but this can be treated with ablative procedures and has a good prognosis.
There is no urgent need to go to the dermatologist. See if you can post one or two pictures that have a better resolution or illumination. I'll look at them and let you know what I think they are.
regards,

ok i went to the ER, they sent me to Minor ER. and there i was checked out. the first thing he stated was it looks like HPV warts, of course you know i'm really going up the wall now... they took blood tests which i have to wait for because he said it looked viral and could be HIV or Syphilis. now i'm like pacing in thought... those are all STDs right? but i'm a virgin, i have never touched anyone without their clothes on, let alone have i touched anyone's genitals nor have anyone touched mine, and certainly no genital to genital contact.
i can paste some photos. they are kind of blurry but hopefully clear enough to see. i really don't know what to think, and even the nurse said that the doctor was confused as to what it could be. her words were "he doesn't know what it is" though when he talked to me previously he spoke almost in certainty that it was genital warts but at the same time, told me to go see a derm, so before i do that and owe out money i don't have from the visit, hopefully you can shine some light on my situation.

Hi Chris,
I was referring to the age range of puberty there :-).
Penile papules can appear at any time in life but usually appear in the second and third decades of life and decrease thereafter.
You can read up about them at the link pasted below and check if the pictures resemble what you have observed in yourself.

You can keep a carton of milk near you whenever you sit down to study or work and that would take care of at least 500 ml of your fluid intake right there.
Feel free to post any doubts or issues that bother you.

thank you for calming my nerves a little, and by the way i'm 18 and dehydration is a definite in this case. i hardly drink pass 2-3 times a day... sometimes none at all. and yes i know this is very bad to do but i'm usually very busy and actually forget. i have a very low attention span and have to force myself to concentrate, which comes at a price of neglecting to do some things. but yeah i hope you are right and that this also applies for persons 18 as well seeing as i still have acne breakouts on my face frequently. again thanks and can you please reply to this and tell me whether or not it still applies to my case? thank you a million times, i was literally in tears but you've gave me a lot of hope.

Hi,
If you are going through puberty (13-17 years),it is likely that the bumps you see on your corona are part of puberty-related changes. These bumps are called pearly penile papules and are not related to sexual activity or hygiene.
Given the site of occurrence and their appearance they may be mistaken for sexually transmitted infections. These are benign lesions and do not have any malignant (cancerous) potential.
The urethral burning and pain on urination could be due to localized inflammation following dehydration or a minor UTI. Ensure that you consume at least 2000 ml of fluid per day, add citrus fruits and juices to diet, avoid caffeine, alcohol, and carbonated drinks until your symptoms of pain during urination disappear.
As you have not had any sexual contact with anyone, you do not have a sexually transmitted infection.
Do not worry about the penile papules. You can have them removed, if their appearance bothers you, when you are in your twenties.
