So I have a few questions I'm wondering if
anyone could help me out with.
I was shaving recently in my genital area
and cut myself within about 3 days i
noticed that a bump had started to grow
about 1/4 of a inch above my penis towards
my bellybutton. I didn't think much of it
until more bumps showed up. Now my brother
has Genital warts so I new the chances of
having the HPV virus is very high. I'm
wondering do the warts only show up on
your penis and stroctum and anus? Ive read
alot on the internet and its all about
having them on your penis. All my stuff is
in my pubic hair above the penis?
That bump in your pubic area could be a
genital wart, too. You can consult some
dermatologist about this.

It's rather unlikely that you'd get it
from your brother unless you two had
sexual contact or sexual contact with a
mutual partner that had it. its spread by
skin to skin contact, and pretty hard to
get from a towel that you shared or
something like that.
Get it checked, it could be something like
Moluscum or something else. Moluscum is
very contagious but usually goes away
(unlike HPV). Have a doctor check it
out.
If it is HPV its possible that you have it
all in that area...and it can spread to
the other areas you listed. generally it
stays in those 3 areas, but I would have
them looked at and removed, as they can
spread quickly if you leave them.
Consider yourself lucky thus far that you
don't have them on your rod. When its
there, very easy to spread inside a
partner. Because the virus is in the
skin, you can even spread it without any
signs of an outbreak. Its also much more
sensitive of an area then where you have
them now. Get rid of them asap and start
using something like aldara if it'll work
for you.
