Genital Wart Removal, Doctor And Insurance Posted: 05-18-05 00:07am
Hello, I am a sexually active 19 year old
male and currently live at home with my
parents. Recently I have noticed 2 small
bumps on the head of my penis. They are
both right next to each other on the right
side, and resemble a pimple without and
white head or anything of the sort. I
really believe that they are genital warts
or molluscum. I need to get them checked
out, but where should I get this done at?
I don't really want to go to the family
doctor or use my parents insurance,
because I am really embarrassed and don't
want my family to find out about this.
Is there some clinic I can go to and get
this taken care of without using
insurance. I have also seen cream sold
all over the internet specializing in
removing genital warts. Should I trust
these creams in not hurting me? Can
someone please help me with some advice,
or if anyone has found themselves in a
similar situation. I know it sounds
childish, but I don't want the parents to
find out about this at all, it's way too
embarrassing and will only lead to big
family problems. Thanks

Don't Try to Figure It Out On Your Own! Posted: 05-18-05 17:34pm
It's normal and you have nothing to worry
about. However, you need to see a
doctor. It's not embarrassing to use
your parents insurance if you have
coverage. If not, make an appointment to
check it out. Don't start applying
lotions or gasoline to try to remove it.
Have a professional take a look.
If you are 19 and still living at home,
maybe the parents have a policy which will
cover it. If not, call the doctors
office and ask for a reduced fee. Pay
it! Last case scenario, go to the er,
but you'll eventually have to pay.
