White patches of skin? Pictures included

Hello,

I am 27 years old male, who was diagnosed with HPV about 5 months ago. The warts are located in my anus, but at the moment they seem to be going away. Other std tests came back negative after 2,5months. Next test is next week.

I have discovered small, white patches of skin around my buttocks, and  on my thighs going all the way down till my legs. Sometimes itchy around butocks and thighs but these don't look like warts. However, there are tens of these everywhere on my backside. Could someone tell me what they are? Thanks.

I know you wrote this post awhile back but I have the same thing on my back. And most doctors are NOT familiar with all the symptoms. Hpv weakens your immune system, and disorders that your body naturally fights off without the virus can come out. I'm my case it's ecxema, which runs in my family. My brother and mom great it pretty bad on their back and feet. Since I've only had 1 or 2 small out breaks up until now I wasn't sure what it was. But it is common for skin disorders, besides warts, to reappear when having an out break. I really wish doctors would do more research before they just throw things out. Everyone's body reacts to things differently. I feel like sometimes everyone, especailly doctors forget that. Anyway I hope you've figured it out by now.

Ye I said sorry already.

Anyway the dr didn't know, as I suspected. She said it's something to do with the skin pigmentation, not a rash, and if it doesn't get any "worse" there's nothing we need to do about it. I find it very strange that this is happening to my skin all of a sudden, though.

Even if we looked at pictures it is impossible to tell you what they are or could be.

Ok, sorry I did not see this rule. I am seeing a doctor tomorrow, but doctors here are generally not very good, so thought I'd ask here as well to get an idea.

we don't look at pictures here. why not is explained in our read before posting post located under the important announcements tab on the forum.

bottom line is you need to be seen and get these looked at to get a proper diagnosis.
