herpes or pimples or hpv

Hello, I have had these little white/red bumps on the shaft and base of my penis for about 3 months now (about 2-7 at a given time) They are not in a cluster but close together.  The white/red bumps after a few days will begin to form a white head just like zit.  I then can pop them and white puss comes out just like a zit, there isn't any burning and itching.  After popping them the red bump stays around and scabs over and heals, but some of them will become zit like again and i then pop them again.  They don't resemble a herpe that i've seen on the internet which look like a water filled blister, they look more of a pimple.  My girlfriend has hpv and we have unprotected sex so i'm guessing its a wart, but it sounds like warts contain no white puss, what is it?  Herpes?  Do herpes scabes turn hard and stay around for 4 weeks?

You can't be diagnosed without visual examination.
But I know that you cannot pop herpes. And herpes cause much discomfort and pain.

It is very logical to say you have HPV, because you had sex with someone infected.

Either way, you should see your doctor.  He will tell you if you have them and could prescribe something, plus he could freeze them off.

There is no cure for Herpes, or warts.  

So, I would see a doctor so that if you do have them,
you don't spread them around.

Hi,

Nothing can be said with surety without a clinical examination. It is important that you consult your doctor for the confirmed diagnosis.

'Genital warts may disappear without treatment, but sometimes eventually develop a fleshy, small raised growth. There is no way to predict whether they will grow or disappear.

According to the Center for Disease Control's report on HPV to Congress in 2004, studies have shown that 70% of new HPV infections clear within one year, and as many as 91% clear within two years.

You could read more about the condition at the following link-

Let us know if you need any other information and post us about how you are doing.

Regards.
