fleshy bumps, some redness, bleeding
I am a 26 year old male, ive had about 8 sexual partners in my life, and 3 of them within the last 7 months.
I have papules, not on the head, but lower shaft, and one day noticed 2 small, raised, flesh colored bumps on the lower underside of the shaft area. About the size of a ball point pen ink insert. I cant tell if they are that small or a bunch of even smaller ones. I cant really even tell if it is above or below skin. The bump itself, looks a little bumpy. If that makes sence.
Not white, sometimes flesh colored, sometimes even a little darker. I knicked one with my nail and a pinsized point of blood came out from it. then it became red and reduced slightly in size.
Im not totally familiar with HPV, but ive seen photos, and i assume those photos are worse case scenarios since most looked absolulty nothing like my bumps. But some did resemble them slightly.
I dont know if they are an offshoot of the papules, or a cyst, or something i dont know about.
Seeking help, will make a Dr. appointment asap, but trying to ease my mind.
thank you.

Sorry, didn't mean to post my question incorrectly!
I have something that I think is a vulvar cyst/bartholin's gland abcess...but I am having trouble finding pictures of what exactly they look like. I have a somewhat sketchy sexual history, but have been married with no extramarrital sexual activity for almost 3 years, so I'm pretty sure that it's not an STD. It is located closer to my vaginal opening (another reason I thought it might be the bartholin's), it's about the size of a pea, it seems to be under the skin, its slightly red, only slightly tender. I have recently begun a new exercise regimen and it's possible that I haven't been careful enough about staying clean and dry, simply because I can't always change out of my workout clothes right away. Don't know if this is relevant, but...any help would be great!!!
yeah, i have had the papules since i was a child, i even have something along those lines on my eye lids. its odd. I have serious sensitive skin. I wouldnt say the bleeding was alot, it was a tiny amount, bt thanx for the reply!

If you're certain the papules are new, then you definitely need to see a health care provider. As best I can tell from your description, warts don't seem likely, especially the apparently vigorous bleeding. Molluscum contagiosum might be a possibility, especially if any of the bumps are shiny pink and/or have a dimple in the center; MC lesions can bleed quite vigorously. (MC is a completely benign infection, easily cured, with no complications of any kind.)
Bottom line: Follow through on your plan to see a health care provider. In the meantime, don't be too worried; I doubt it's going to turn out to be anything serious. Good luck.
