Warts or Herpes?
I recently noticed a few small elevated bumps near the base of my penis..There seems to be more of them now..They are itchy when I sweat and when I squeeze/pull them they bleed. I am wondering if it is from shaving with a razor or if I have genital warts?? There are only a few small ones spread out around the base..Any advice would be much appreciated, Thanks
It could be a number of things ranging from normal to an std. Stds could include molluscum contagiosum, genital warts, or herpes. Herpes would hurt, molluscum would have a small dimple centrally in the bump, and genital warts can look like a small little bump of flesh. Don't compare what you see online. I have hpv gw and believe me they look nothing like the online google images. You have to go to a dermatologist and possibly get a biopsy to have a definitive answer. Keep me posted!
Depends? Do they look red like a small pimple or they look like ur skin? Warts do itch! But they look like a piece of lil skin yes u can pull on them and u will bleed and it don't hurt either! If u think it might be warts go see a doc and show them the bump cause without a bump they can't help u!
