HPV concern

[dagot6]

I have a question about the appearance of genital warts.  Around a month and a half ago on the rim of my penis head  I noticed two what appear to be  3 white bumps.  In a month and a half they have not grown at all or changed in appearance.  When I pull the skin on the rim of my penis they look like white bumps but when I let the skin return back to normal they are hard to notice and look like a normal part of the penis head rim.

My question is in a month and a half would i have noticed any other symptoms if this was HPV such as pain, itching or anything else?  

Also in a month and a half if this was HPV would the appearance have changed?

And my last concern is I have been with my current girlfriend for almost 6 years and have been faithful I have no reason to suspect she has strayed either.  I am sick to my stomach right now thinking this is HPV.  If it is HPV Is it possible it was in one of our systems this entire time and never manifested warts ?

Kdaily, I made an appt and can get in next week.  I have one question I noticed these spots change in color depending on the color of my penis head.  When it's flacid and a lighter pigment they remain the color of the flacid penis, when it's erect and red it becomes red.  Do genital warts respond this way?

you should jut see a dermatologist and they can diagnose you, they can biopsy it.

Kdaily, I have a very strong immune system. I am unsure if these are warts but I am not taking any chances. I already ate well, slept well and exersised. I have been under alot if stress with work. I've added echinecea to my supplements as well as increasing my vitamine c and I also added glutamine.

Yes,
And yes, typically the body will clear an HPV infection with in a year, you can do things to progress that eatting healthy, taking vitamins, exercising basically being healthy.

The warts them self? Yes it is possible but typically warts dont last that long... it would be more of a question if you contracted the virus years ago and you're just now having an outbreak. either way your now partner is most likely infected as well and there is no need to worry, however she should make sure she gets her yearly pap.

I have one more question that just came to mind.  Is it possible that I had these warts for years from a previous infection and just never noticed them until now?

We have both had previous partners.  Is it true that 80 percent of sexually active people will have hpv at some point. Is it also true that the body usually clears the infection within a few months to a year?

HPV does not change in form they do not hurt they can itch or not.... honestly there is no way to tell you if it is or isn't HPV... you need to see a doctor for a diagnosis. if either of youhave had previous partners and if this is HPV then either of you could have contracted it before your relationship and it could just becoming active.

You can have HPV for years before it is Active.
