Help identifying white spots

I have had these white spots for a few weeks. I had unprotected sex 5 months back.

They do not hurt. They do not itch. It does not hurt to pee. Any clue what they are?

Why don't you think it is an STD? My doctor said the same thing. I went to an urgent care clinic and the doctor there said it was "normal." But then my primary healthcare provider said "that is not normal. I've seen thousands of STDs and that does not look like any one of them"

They drew my blood so I'll find out Monday. But I'm just scared. What could it be?

Are they the only spots? Do you have any behind/under foreskin?

Any when pulling foreskin back? Base of head or on stretched out foreskin?

On the foreskin. None on my head.

Its is hard to see the spots in detail, but I agree with Adamrufer and they are likely genital warts. However there are other conditions that can cause papular ( raised bump ) lesions. A sexual health clinic would be able to advise you correctly. HPV ( warts ) are very treatable.

These look like warts to me. They usually appear months or years after unprotected sex. And often, they are not painful or itchy. Warts are very contagious and you can spread them to others through skin-to-skin contact including intercourse. You can test them by using a cotton ball to apply some apple cider vinegar to these spots. If they turn white, it means you have warts. My girlfriend also has warts and vidarox is helping her to reduce the size of warts. Speaking to your doctor is necessary.

My doctor said "this doesn't look like any STD I've ever seen." He took blood tests which will come back soon. But he referred me to a dermatologist.

What if they don't turn white? And does it have to be apple cider vinegar? What a about red wine vinegar? Or rice cooking wine?

If you've never had sex, little white bumps on the shaft of the penis may be pimples, a skin cyst, or ingrown hairs. These are common and they're nothing to worry about. Another condition that's normal and no cause for concern is pearly penile papules. These whitish bumps appear on the glans (head) of the penis or along the edge of the glans in many guys. Pimples, cysts, ingrown hairs and papules won't do any harm — though if you try to pop them they could get infected.

If you are having sex or have had sex in the past, bumps on the penis may be signs of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs, also called sexually transmitted infections or STIs). Painful blisters, bumps, or ulcers may be herpes. Genital warts (HPV) also can show up as bumps on the penis. Sometimes these are irregular in shape or hard to see, and they're not painful. Syphilis also can give a guy painless ulcers on his penis. Finally, molluscum contagiosum is an infection that can be spread through sexual contact and give someone small, painless bumps.

STDs may not give a guy painful bumps, but they can put your health (and your partner's health) at risk if they are not treated quickly.

If you're concerned about bumps on your penis, see a doctor or go to a clinic for advice on what to do. Don't try to pop any bumps or use pimple cream on them, as this could make things worse.

If all tests are cleared by GUM clinic , it is still be warts. If these gets worsen, you need to see Urologist.

Looks like HPV to me. But not a doctor.
