Does this sound like anything?

Hey all,

I have a very small painless bump that looks like it is part of my meatus (urethral penis opening). I've noticed it gets bigger if I mess with it (along with the rest of my meatus). It's a reddish purple color, and if I press on it a very small amount of clear liquid comes out (very little).

I've had this for a long time (months as at least, maybe more?)

Should I be worried?

Would warts grow in size with the meatus? I wake up sometimes and notice the bumps not there, but as I agitate the meatus it grows too.

Unless it is wart like, I doubt your doctor will consider it HPV. As a male there is no test for HPV without a wart.

Thanks fleetwood20... I've had full testing (hsv igg included). I guess my main concern now is hpv. Does this sound like it? (I plan on seeing a doctor soon anyway to know for sure...)

All penises are unique and inconsistent in terms of form. The can be many permanent bumps, folds, creases, bubbles, coloration variances and so on.

If you have been having unprotected sex, then consider panel testing for your protection.
