Consulted a dermatologist for some pimple like formation on penis foreskin. He initially described it as pearly penile papules or genital warts. So advised a topical anitbiotic(Fusidic Acid Cream - Fucidin by Ranbaxy) and VDRL(came out negative).
After 2 weeks of no relief, the doc suggested electrocautery. As per my research online, electrocautery is required for genital warts, and genital warts cause itching, but I dont feel any type of itching.
Want to have secondary opinion. Should I go for electrocautery, or do I have other alternatives also?
Noticed this problem 4 months back, and it seems to be growing.

Consulted another dermatologist, he suggested to use Podowart once a week, along with vaseline and powder to protect non-affected skin.
How effective is this technique? And what could be the next steps of my treatment?
Need to consult again after 2 weeks.

Hello,
Warts are small painless growth on skin caused by Human Papilloma Virus. These can be light or dark. They are usually oval in growth and raised forming rough surface in the skin and do not itch.
You should get this bump removed and biopsied to confirm the diagnosis and rule it out from any malignant growth.
I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
