I have small bumps on the lip of my penis head, what are they?
When I stretch the foreskin on my penis down, I notice these very small bumps on the lip of my head. I noticed these yesterday and am wondering is they are a STD or something like that.

Hey Mooper,
Welcome to the boards!
Everyone who's sexually active should ideally be getting tested at least once a year. Testing is part of sexual healthcare, so if you're not up to date with that then now would be a great time to get tested. Have you had unprotected sex that you're thinking could have resulted in an STI?
I'd also suggest a check-up with a healthcare provider in case it's a non-STI infection like molluscum. The STI Files: Molluscum
It's also possible it is nothing to be concerned about, for example pearly penile papules. But the only way to know for sure is to go to have it checked out by a healthcare provider.
