does this sound like hpv?

does this sound like hpv?

okay, first off, i was told years ago by my dermatologist that i have eczema, and i have also been diagnosed with sebaceous prominence. i had been worried about the bumps on my scrotum and penis, but soon found out it was just the sebaceous prominence. however, until about a year ago, all of the bumps were on the underside of my penis. then one day, i noticed a small bump on the topside of my penis, nearly 3/4 of an inch from the head, and about dead in the center. this bump looked exactly like the bumps from the SB and has recently gone away. however, a few weeks ago, i also noticed a few very small bumps on the underside of my penis on the left side. they are not noticeable, but the skin where these bumps are is a little darker than the rest of the skin on my penis. also, the area which is darker appears to be wrinkly. i have to stretch the skin in order to see the bumps, and they are much smaller than the bumps from sebaceous prominence. there are a few spots where there are 2 or 3 touching each other, and there probably arent more than 20 overall (they are about the size of a pencil lead tip). i have been circumcized, but i have always had a very little bit of extra skin on the underside of my penis. is there any way this could be a bacteria thing, or does it sound like hpv? i freaked out when i first saw these little bumps and have used the gw care from pure-healing.com and nothing has happened. please tell me this could be something other than hpv...

OK, I will.  You don't have to stretch the skin to see warts.  Please leave the spots alone and show them to someone, perhaps the doctor who diagnosed sebaceous prominence.  That's probably what they are.

Best.

Probably not and no.  You're going to need to see someone in person--the internet will just make you more anxious.

i believe that i have sebaceous prominence but im not really sure. they look a lot like a picture i saw except that mine have little hairs growing out of them and on the head of my penis there are even smaller bumps(which are located only above the rim and dont look like PPP) and my tip has crack like wirnkles only on the upper part where the bumps are. im 15 and all my friends are doing stuff with girls and im to embarrased to try to get with a girl because of the reaction they might have. im wondering if these are SP or something else and if there is any treatment?
