Genital Warts with hair in bump?

[sammy11]

I have about seven small, slightly reddish bumps on the pubic area near the base of my penis. The bumps are all located right around the hairy region where a condom ends (none on the actual penis itself). I went to a dermatologist for a biopsy, and she said the results seem to suggest* gential warts. However, I have been reading that hairs cannot grow through genital warts. In my particular case, some of these bumps have pubic hairs driving straight through the middle of the bump, and if not straight through, nearly every single bump has a pubic hair growing downward near the bottom of the bump.

Could the biopsy be wrong or is it possible for genital warts to have hairs growing through them? Is this Molluscum?

This does not sound like genital warts to me. I have HPV which causes warts and they are generally not a different color than the surrounding skin, unless they are lighter/whitish. Your description sounds like ingrown hairs. The hair grows down through the skin instead of up through the skin. If you shave, this is a common side effect. It's not generally a health concern, just don't pick at it as it may become infected. I would suggest looking up info on ingrown hairs if you want tips to clear them up. Best of luck!
