Small pimples buched together

The other day I noticed some small whitehead like pimples onthe shaft of my penis. They don't itch they don't burn and they aren't soar. I have no dischrge and it doesn't burn when i urinate.  I am worried it could be herpes or something but I have no other symptons. Please help. Either answer I get I am going to the doctor.  I just want to put my mind at ease.

Sounds like herpes is a good bet, especially if there is inflammation--i.e., redness around the lesions.  But maybe it's just acne, which can occur on the penis.  You're right--you need to see a health care provider.  If your own doctor is knowledgeable about STD's, see him/her.  If in doubt, consider going to your local health department STD clinic.

Good luck--  HHH, MD

I went ot the doc, he said genital warts. No my question is how likly will my Podofilox get rid of them?

Plus how likely is a reccurrance occur? Meaning if the medicine clears up the warts.

[H. Hunter Handsfield, M.D.]

The likelihood of recurrence is highly variable, no predicting for any partiuclar case.  If they clear up with initial treatment and no recurrence within 3-4 months, you're probably home free.

Doctor one more question. After I applied the medicine I noticed a burning sensation on an unaffected area. Is ti possible it may be a side effect of the drug?
