HPV & possible skin cancer
Hi,
Situation: I have been with my girlfriend for 7 years, no other partners. She had HPV before we met. Pap smear was done 5 years ago and was clean. She had sex with someone else when we had broken up in between. She said it was protected, but I am not sure I can trust her - she is careless.
For about 2 - 4 months now, my penis has had dry skin. Its flaky and has white dead skin shedding sort off every few days. I am uncircumcised. The bottom tip is always a little bit sore. No warts, or any other symptoms. Before this, my penis was never sore and I could have stimulation for hours. Now its always feels dry and cant have stimulation for long.
Questions:
Do I have skin cancer on penis? or something else? How do Iget this tested?
We have oral sex (both of us). Do I have risk of cancer in the mouth from this? Does that HPV ever go away from her vagina or it stays? If I have HPV on the penis, can she get oral cancer too?
thanks

Hi Doc,
Thank you for your response.
From what I understand, I don't think that case is similar to mine - I have no warts. Plus my girlfriend had HPV before she met me - we met 7 years ago. So her HPV (which was also wart less I believe) was at least 8 - 9 years ago. We never had any symptoms so many years.
My symptom is dry scaly skin on the penis. I also have pretty strong allergies to pollen, dustmites, dander ...the works. Which usually means every morning I am sneezing for an hour. But it has changed a few months ago, where I think my skin also has started becoming itchy overall. I cant say for sure if its allergy eczema or something else. But a moisturizer takes care of the skin issues. The penis scaling also reduces through moisturizer, but I have never had to use moisturizer on the penis before - I'm 34.
So I want to find out if Its possible to have the HPV act up after so many years or that it was active and now finally led to cancer on the penile skin.
Additionally, are either of us at risk of cancer in the throat/mouth?
thank you.
