What are the likelihood chances of developing pearly penile papules and genital warts at the same time? It just doesn't sound like coincidental.
The first time i noticed my "lesions" were when i saw white pimple like lesions on my corona area of the penis. This all was 3 months after my "possible exposure" which was "protected" vaginal sex. Also, i only had 1 partner beforehand who was a virgin. The second was a one time encounter.
After noticing my lesions, i looked up online and came across "pearly penile papules," so to confirm this i went to a local STD clinic which a nurse diagnosed me with warts. So to get a second opinion, i went to a local family doctor who looked and said it was warts. Then i went to a dermatologist, before showing him my genitals i had told him i was diagnosed with genital warts. With just a glance he said that they were warts and used cryotherapy to freeze off the "lesions". However when i came back to get a second round of cryo, the dermatologist said that the skin i suspected of lesions were residual skin tags and that the white pimple like lesions were in fact pearly penile papules.
So just to be sure that the lesion type growths on my penis were warts, the derma had a biopsy done on me to make sure. It came out to be a skin tag. Now i do not know if what they treated originally were in fact warts or just skin tags.
The reason i ask this is because i know skin tags can be caused by sex and any other type of friction. So i was wondering if my original suspected lesions were probably just skin tags?
I cant say that ive had another outbreak since my cryo session or not but its been about 3 months.
I dont know, maybe they were warts since i was told they were but papules an warts at the same time? For the cryo they didnt even touch the papules.
