Question : I had unprotected sex about a week ago... I started to notice that I got 3 white dots behind the penis head and a few red dots on my penis head. To add on that my whole body is itchy. What's wrong?

The only way to know whether they are the result of HSV or another condition is to be checked by a health care provider.
