A member asked:

There is small white bumps on my penis. i never had sex before. i really want to know what's going on?

Folliculitis: The possibilities include hair follicle inflammation, what we call folliculitis and a sexually transmitted disease. Since you have not had sexual contact, then an STD is not likely. Herpes can appear this way and could transmit from your hand.
