a weird genital problem?

My 18 year old brother approached me and told me he has a genital problem. according to him there are somethings like warts (but very small) on his penis and asked me if I know what that might be. here is a brief description of he told me after I looked some things up in the internet and asked him some questions:
- has has had the problem for quite some time, about 3-4 years.
- he has never had sexual intercourse
- he has been masturbating regularly from before those little things appeared
- the warts became more over time but very very slowly over time
- the warts do not hurt or anything. they are just very small unusual parts on the penis but they cover the head.

I looked these up in the internet but could not really find anything that matches these symptoms for my bro who is a virgin! he has been hiding this problem for quite some time so I think I gotta advice him what to do. I would appreciate if you can share your knowledge with me so we can solve this problem. here are my questions:

1- What kind of doctor should we go to first? can we go to a regular doctor?
2- Considering my bro is a virgin, what do you think this problem be?
3- Considering the fact that he has had this problem for quite a while, do you think this might be a serious thing?


the first question is the most important one. as you might guess my bro is shy so he don't like to talk to many people about it. I think it is very important that we go see a doctor soon. but might a regular doctor help? actually he asked me if it is ok to show the penis to a regular doctor (rather than a specialist), and made me wonder. if we wait for a specialist that might take a while...

thanks
 
I know several people that were virgins that caught an STD. I have a cousin that caught herpes when she was 7. There are other ways to catch these things. He needs to go to a doctor and he will test him for HPV (genital warts) or he will refer him to another doctor. If it is indeed, warts, then it's most likely HPV. Good luck.
 
I would have to question whether or not he has had any sexual contact. Being a virgin doesn't mean he hasn't had oral sex. You can catch STDs from oral sex.

Start by having him got to his normal physician and if he can't figure it out he'll recommend someone else.
 
A regular MD would be able to treat this, yes. A dermatolgist or general practitioner can usually remove them quickly. Also, a clear diagnosis is necessary for proper treatment.

It sounds like genital warts which is caused by a virus, but 'virgin' is sometime a vague term. Has he ever had any sexual contact? Oral, hand etc? It can be spread by razor blades because it is a virus etc.

The problem with warts is that they spread. So he could have had one on his hand or arm or wherever, and they spread because they are a virus and with or without masturbation it could spread by contact when showering, urinating etc. He needs to get treated. It will usually get worse. Sometimes they go away on their own.... but it sounds like these are just spreading. And they will continue spreading.

I would like to add: he really, really should go to a doctor. If this is the STD, it is very common, easily treated and something doctors see all the time. He might be embarassed, people usually are about that stuff at his age, but he either treats it now before its a huge deal or he waits,it spreads, grows and becomes a situation requiring surgery, recovery time etc.

He should just call his usual doctor, say he has warts he needs removed from a very sensitive area and ask if they can do that or if they will refer him to a dermatologist.
 
Hes got HPV also known as genital warts in this case. He should go see a doctor and get them removed.

You can get HPV without having sexual intercourse, say if he had a wart on his hand. Or from a mosquito.
