skin growth on penis

[dj30]

Hi, about 6 months ago I had 2 pimples that formed on the shaft of my penis and i proceeded to pop them and a few weeks later they had seemed to go away but 2 little growths formed. They are the same color as the rest of my skin but sort of look like cauliflower... is there anything I can do to get rid of these there so embarrassing!

Hi

When you were tested for genital warts were these cauliflower bumps present already?

There is no definitive examination for HPV infection which causes genital warts until they manifest as warts. In women, a pap smear may be done to see any cervical changes which may suggest HPV infection but in men such tests are not available yet. If this has not been seen at this state , then you may need to have this reassessed again. Warts are only a differential here but it is best to be sure. These are skin conditions that are readily treated .

I'm 19, and yes I am sexually active but I was tested for genital warts and I don't have them.  It started out as 2 pimples and the pimples formed into 2 bumps that are cauliflower looking. I even attempted to remove them and all it did was make them bigger.

Hi

How old are you?

As this is relevant to your question, may I ask if you have been sexually active?

Skin colored bumps on the genitals may have genital warts , molluscum and skin tags as differentials. Have you been exposed to anyone with warts or any skin infections?

As warts and molluscum are contagious it is best to have this assessed by your doctor. Avoid picking on them as you may only cause further irritation and may even facilitate spread.
