Worried my 7year old has HPV
I have a 7 year old son who lives with his dad. In December a pinkish clear growth popped up on his buttocks. My ex hisband just let it go and I found out about it today. It kinda looks like a blister and there are several more popping up. After I questioned my ex about not telling me and then he told me that there was an incident at his daycare where there were to brothers maybe 7 or 8 and they got caught kissing each other. My son toldhis father that one of the boys tried to kiss him and stuck his hand down my sons pants and touched his butt. Needless to say those boys no longer attend the daycare & I am sure there may have been something going on in those kids home.... I worry that the growth on my sons buttocks is not linked. Even though it looks like a blister it never pops.... Please help!!! I can't get him into a doctor for at least a week.
That is great news! So glad he is just fine. I totally understand, no matter what the age of mine they are my babies!
The other boys might have just been playing things out rather than abuse. Kids do that, regardless I would think it is the daycares responsibility to report such things just to make sure.

Ok.... So I could not get my son into his doctor for a week and I'm a worry wart so I took him to my doctor. Good news... It's not HPV!!!! The dermatologist said it's a skin virus that children get and it is commen. He told me children in daycare get more then children who are not. He said it takes 6-12 months for it to go away. He said that the virus goes through stages like the chickenpoxs.... First the blister forms then they pop then they dry up and go away..... He said he could have gotten it from the little boy that touched my sons bottom or he could have picked it up another way such as coming in contact with it then digging in his own bottom... I did call my sons daycare and verify my ex-husbands story I just wish i could do something more for those two little boys but the daycare would not give me there information. Anyways I'm so relieved my baby is ok. Even though he's 7 he is still my baby boy and I will do anything to protect him.... Thank you for all of your comments!
Actually I would advise you to worry enough to know that your son has not been hurt.
The reason I say this is because I am the mother of young children too and if it were my son I would want to know for sure what is going on. You need to contact the daycare and follow up on your x's story. The fact that he is witholding info and then giving a story like that only when you are finding a physical issue with your son is cause for concern.
In all I have read if a young child does have a gential wart it suggests abuse. You don't know if he does so you first have to take him to a dermatologist. Then if it is a gentail wart you need to find out where and who he might have had that sort of contact with.
Hope your little one is ok.

It's nothing to worry about Angie, just make your doctor's appointment and take them in. Even if he does have HPV it's not a genital HPV (there are over 100 types of HPV, only 30 or 40 are genital) and even if he does there is absolutely no medical reason for you to panic about it in the time it takes for the doctor to see him. It could be anything and most likely isn't HPV. That link you describe is probably not the link and is being settled upon by a worried mind casting about for causation. He'll be fine. So put the worries out of your head as best you can and simply take him to the doctor. Also, feel free to post the results here so as to add to the knowledge of the forum. THanks!
