no reason to think this was a wart. you've been seen multiple times now and no one thinks it is. it actually sounds like completely normal skin like many circumsized males have. unfortunately males don't get a reason to look at a lot of male penises to see what is actually normal like us gals tend to do ;)

So I decided to have a biopsy on one of them by a new doctor. He also thought they weren't anything to worry about. I called the doctor today (8 days after biopsy) to see if the results are in. The doctor said they were but the lab is pursuing additional testing. The lab said it was some type of inflammation but couldn't rule out HPV yet. The results should be back by Monday.
Can anyone please help me figure out what this means. I'm so nervous and scared. Thanks.
not much else we can help you with to be honest. wait for the final results and follow up with your provider on them.
Is it usually a bad sign if the lab needs to do more testing?
So after calling the doctor a million times he finally called me back. He said the lab said it looks like a normal papilloma but not a wart and not contagious. He then said that he asked the lab to do some special staining that will check if there are any wart cells present. I'm supposed to call back in a week. It's been 3 weeks now since I had the biopsy.
Does this seem like normal procedure? How could it possibly take so long?
Special training. At least they are taking the time to look into this for you. That is hard to find now a days. I know you are concerned but try to relax. I hope everything works out for you!
Thanks!
Is staining the only way to test for HPV? Or do you think they did other tests already an found nothing and want to do this test to just make sure.
Try posting in HPV forum.
So I finally heard back from someone in the doctor's office. They said it came back negative when testing for several strands of HPV. They wanted to schedule a follow up appointment to see if I wanted to remove these white bump things. I probably won't since they aren't warts.
Some last questions though. How accurate is a biopsy? Should I trust these results and move on with my life? Do you think they looked at it under a microscope in addition to doing the staining and everything came back pointing that it wasn't cause by HPV?
Also, my biopsy left a red mark that is fading everyday. Does anyone know any over the counter products I can apply to it to make it return to normal skin color faster?
Thanks again.
just a general moisturizer is fine for this - aquaphor, zinc oxide or any baby butt cream.
Could be a rare form of wart infection. Will def affect future partners/ current partner will know you cheated on them that one time. Only safe thing to do wouls be to cut your dick off.
