Last question regarding Possible Wart

[bobbbyjones]

Dr.,

I will take your advice and perhaps I am being overly critical about my body and assuming the worst possible scenario every time.   I do however have one last question and it will be my last.  On the area of circumcision, below the head of the penis, I have something again I thought was suspicious.  Very small, slightly raised again on the circumsized skin.  Lost on what this is - again I assume the worst and believe it is a wart.  Before listening to you, I again picked at it causing a small amount of blood and irritation.  I don't know if I should be concerned - I do not think it is a pimple or clogged pore.  Am I being paranoid ? Thanks for your insight.

The picture looks like a picked scab, not a wart.  Leave it alone.  If it goes away, it wasn't a wart.  If it doesn't go away, it still may not be a wart, but you'll need to show it to a doctor.

Take care.
