STD/HPV

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am worried about a wart that appeared on my penis about two months ago. I would appreciate your professional expertise.
I specify that I don’t have any symptoms other than the wart itself.
For further analysis, I have uploaded three photos to my MedHelp photo album. Notice that the Picture 01 was taken one month before Picture 02 and Picture 03 and I have had unprotected sex about six months ago.

Thank You,

Hello,
Firstly we need to confirm whether it is a wart or some benign skin growth. For small warts that affect only the skin around the anus, several medications(like podophyllum resin, Podofilox (Condylox), Trichloroacetic and bichloroacetic acids, Imiquimod 5% cream and interferons) are available, which can be applied directly to the surface of the warts. Other treatment options include electrical cautery, surgical removal, Carbon dioxide laser treatment and electrodesiccation.

In my opinion you should talk to a cosmetologist/dermatologist about this and get these warts evaluated.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
