Do I Have Pearly Papules Or Genital Warts?? Posted: 01-05-06 13:57pm
I recently noticed some bumps on my penis
that are formed in orderly, neat rows
around the base of the head. Ive only
had sex with 2 ppl in my life, and the
only other girl was a one time fling about
18-19 months ago. I first noticed a
couple white bumps after 10 months of the
fling, and went to my dermatologist, who
told me it was pearly papules, which
commonly occur in uncircumcised men like
myself.
But about a week ago I noticed the orderly
bumps forming. I did a lil internet
research, and it sounded like papules, but
I wanted to be sure. There is no
itching, bleeding, or dryness. No odor
either. I think its only pearly
papules, mainly cos I am
uncircumcised...But I just wanted somebody
to reassure me. Help! And enlighten me
here. Thanks!!

Yea, thats what it sounds like to me.
You'll be fine. You said you researched
it and it 'sounds' like the same thing.
Maybe i'm taking you too litteraly but I
would recomend you look at pictures on the
net, not to make sure its that but so
you'd feel better.
As a note hoever: itn't it interesting how
they are in fairly straight rows?

I looked at some pics and it looks like
i've got pearly papules. It def worried
me for awhile there though.
On what you noted - I think the fact that
they are in rows is the distinguishing
factor, otherwise from my bit of research
the bumps would be all over the place. I
also think that after 18 months I should
be in the clear. But thanks for your
reply! Be safe and wear condoms!!!

Update - Worried Posted: 01-19-06 01:26am
Alright, now i'm worried. This past week
i've noticed some different bumps near the
tip of my penis. They are very, very
hard to see too! Even after I realized I
had pearly papules, these bumps could very
well be genital warts - yuck.
They are fleshy colored and flat. The
only way I can see them is with a
flashlight and on a certain angle (yea I
know, I am paranoid). Here's the thing -
I am leaving this saturday for the marines
and will be gone for three months.
Should I wait all that time, or are they
just gonna get even worse??? I don't
think I could get in to see a Dr. Who
could give me an official diagnosis....Ahh
i'm so confused and worried. I would so
go to my doc right away, but i'm
leaving....
