Genital Warts? Or Something Else? Posted: 04-20-07 11:38am
I'm 25, and sexually active (although not
in the past month). The girl I was
sleeping with found out from her doctor
that she had HPV. In a further self-exam
in early March I found several tiny (aprox
1mm) flesh colored raised bumps, at the
base of my penis shaft. I went to my
regular doctor and after a brief exam he
said he believed it was Folliculitis. I
went home and did some internet research
and saw pictures of folliculitis, and I
thought it did not look like what I had.
I've been monitoring my bumps for the past
month, they have not changed at all in
shape, size, color. I probably have aprox
10 bumps total.
Considering the possibility they are
warts, I tried putting some household
vinegar (5% acidity) on the warts. I tried
it a couple of times. There was no visible
reaction, and no color change.
Here is a link to a close up pictures I
have taken of the bumps yesterday.
