Im Worried...
Posted: 05-08-05 22:51pm

I know you get this question all the time, but I looked this up on he net and compared the looks of my penis with some on the net, it is not advanced enough to form a coliflower look, but it does have small clusters of lumps on my shaft, and clusters of slightly medium sized lumps on the head, and a smaller lump right under the penis head, it looks like genital warts, but I dont know, I found it out a month ago..I left it alone cause I dident know what it was..But just the past few weeks it progressed further, I dont have money to see a doctor...I am 17 of age...And never had sex before but I do masterbate frequently....So could this problem be genital warts? And if so what store could I go to to buy a suitable substance to cure this problem? I do not want my mother to know, even though she is a nurse.


Ps: all I could find as a medical wart remover, was for planters and common warts....Could I use them?

Get yourself to the doctor. Sounds like it could be genital warts to me. I had them once, urethrally, and it really does take a medical professonal to take care of them so they don't come back. Mine didn't start out having that cauliflower appearance either, but they soon developed into that. My doctor applied a solution of podophyllum and tincture of benzoin to chemically cauterize them. Only took a few minutes. They don't go away immediately, but within a day or less after the treatment they'll start to slough off. It's not terribly uncomfortable but it's not real pretty to look at while the warts are self-destructing. Mine never recurred after that. But don't go self-prescribing medications and trying over-the-counter stuff. You'd probably end up doing more harm than good, and you really don't know for sure what the problem is, anyway.


Warts (if that's what they are) are pretty contagious so you really do need to have this attended to before you have sexual contact with someone else. You don't want to give someone a gift he or she will never forget, after all.

I dont want to ask my mom for money to see the doctor cause she would ask why and/or come with me...And I dont want her finding out cause she will think I got it from sex or something but I never had sex and I plan on not haveing that kind of contact untill college.......I try'd some tea tree oil....Its supposed to be an all natural substance for skin care or something untill im accepted at the jobs I applied for

You could go to a health clinic, there usually cheaper, but just tell your mom. Just go mom I think I have something wrong down there that I want checked out. No biggie im sure she will understand.

Condyloma Removal

My doctor took care of mine with the same thing you stated (podophyllum and tincture of benzoin) and they come back ever so often........About every year to two years. I have tried aldara but it does not help me at all......Condylox works but is painful. What can I do to make them not come back? You are the first person I have heard of that has not had them come back; they say even if they do not come back you still have the virus in your system.

It won't hurt to use the otc freeze burn treatment as they use on other warts it's in a spray can, all warts are caused by papilloma viruses so it will work...Podophylotoxin is a chemotherapy drug, or just buy some dry ice and carefully freeze only the area...
