This is a wee bit embarrassing, but needs to be asked.
My husband and I have been in a monogamous and faithful relationship for 4 years. Last week he had little brown spots show up on his genitalia. Slightly raised, brown, do not itch or hurt, haven't faded. Anybody else heard of this? (yes, we have a doctors visit scheduled for this afternoon).

Thank you in advance for any sincere and helpful posts. Have a great day!

Never heard of it, but cheating is not the only way to contract diseaes or infections. Maybe he used a bathroom that was not sanitary. Hopefully this is only some type of skin irritation, but don't automatically assume that he was unfatiful

What? You are kidding right?

This could possibly be an allergy. Any new soaps, detergents or fabric softeners recently?

Oh, I know he hasn't been unfaithful. We're like 2 peas in a pod. Nobody else could put up with us.:D I put that in there so other people aswering this post would already know that he has been faithful before they posted.
Thank you for your post, I've always heard that it was rather unlikely to contract certain diseases this way (still doesn't make public restrooms any less yucky). You have a good day, OK?

Let me think... I switched laundry detergents about 4 months ago, dryer sheets about 2 months ago... started adding white vinegar to my rinse cycle about 2 months ago.

At first he was worried about a possible std (from previous relationships), I'm not showing any symptoms, plus we've been together for about 4-5 years. Even though we both feel it's unlikely, better safe than sorry, so here we go to the doctor. Forcyde Spots (is that right?)

Fordyce Spots, possibly. STD's unlikely.

Could be nothing more than sebaceous cysts (oil trapped under the skin at or around a pore).

Please keep us updated on what the doc says. I always like to learn something new. ;)

My husband and I had the same problem - I think. I broke out in this during my pregnancy. Neither of us were unfaithful. The doctors said it is not uncommon. They diagnosed me with human papilloma virus. The doctors said they stay dormant in the system and sometimes just show up. You could have them for years and not know it. After the birth of our child, they went away and never came back. My husband denied any breakout.
