Jan/Feb 2004 I was exposed to a girl with visible genital warts. I watched myself carefully and did not notice anything. In May 2004 I did notice two very small bumps at the base of my penis (Top of the penis, just in the hairline where the penis is attached). They appeared to me as shave bumps and I picked at them hard, and they appeared to go away. In June 2004 I was checked out by a urologist, he used vinegar and magnification and said I was cleared. Some point over the summer those two bumps seemed to show up again, again I felt it was from shaving. I then decided to get checked out by a dermatologist to make sure I was in the clear. This was only recently on 3/22/05. He said they were warts. He also treated two-three other small spots at the base of my penis on the opposite side. He froze them, since then I believe I have maybe two other small ones in the same area, not that they are new, but given what he treated, they seem to fit the mold. They are very small, firm to the touch, up in the hairline on the top of the penis. I was going to go back to have him freeze them but I have some concerns.
1. 2 of the 5 seemed to have a small hair in them, not coming thru the middle, but some part of the bump had hair in it.
2. They are small, at the very bottom of the shaft, not out in the open where you can easily seem them.
3. Given my initial exposure to warts, and when I first noticed something, its been almost a year.
4. I guess the urologist gave me the all clear because the bumps were gone briefly during the time he saw me, but that does mean he missed the other bumps on the opposite side.
These reasons raise some doubt in my mind. I am thinking of going to a different dermatologist and not saying anything about warts and see what he says.
My questions:
1) If they are not warts, what else could they be?
2) I have not shaved the area in months, but does that matter?
3) Overall, what would you advise.
Thank you!
