A wart-like bump?
Hi i recently have noticed a wart-like bump at the base of my penis. I read online that a vinegar test can show if its a wart or not. When performing the vinegar test it turned white. What should I do and I have a girl friend but we have always used protection.
no FDA approved test is yet available to diagnose hpv for male... But, we expect there would be one available soon...
is there a test that can show if a man as hpv if he doesn't have any visible effcts
Oh sorry, the above text was not for you... I can't revert it back but you can read it for your information... for your post, only a dermatologist can tell you what that is...
This is hpv specific forum but Yes your symptoms are more indicative of MC, they are seldom serious and routinely disappear without treatment. Molluscum is common enough that you should not be surprised if you see someone with it or if someone in your family becomes infected. If you have molluscum, you will see small white, pink, or flesh-colored raised bumps or growths with a pit or dimple in the center. The bumps are usually smooth and firm. They can be as small as the head of a pin and as large as a pencil eraser (2 to 5 millimeters in diameter). The growths are usually painless but may become itchy, sore and red and/or swollen. They may occur anywhere on the body including the face, neck, arms, legs, abdomen, and genital area, alone or in groups. The bumps are rarely found on the palms of the hands or the soles of the feet.
Any input?
I think it could be MC because I noticed bumps on the inner thigh of my girlfriend and it was like she didnt want me to see them. Plus she wasnt shaven so im thinking they werent razor bumps. But Im going to get tested.
see a dermatologist and get rid of that wart... condoms do not provide full protection against hpv transmission... so it is most likely that your girlfriend is already affected with the same strain... One another thing, is that vinegar test is used to diagnose flat or subclinical warts... further, vinegar test some time turns normal skin bump into white color so you should must have a dermatologist's opinion before finally considering it as a genital wart...
