Small Growths on Foreskin

[Callum654]

I have small fleshy growths on my foreskin, 2 or 3 at most and are different shapes and size and are flesh coloured and a bit white. they are not large but I am concerned this is something serious. They are not painful and i have once before cut them and they grew back(terrible idea). not sure what they are and was wondering if someone could give me some thoughts,

Have you been sexually active?

[Callum654]

Yes 3 years with my GF and was tested a 2 months. Had one other sexual partner in that 2 month period where we had sex once.

Was tested 2 months before meeting her*

Yeah, don't ever cut anything off your skin yourself. That sounds painful.

These could be a few different things - genital warts, molluscum contagiosum, skin tags or flaps - the list is quite varied. Has a doctor seen them?

How long have you had them?

[Callum654]

Had them for 2 months or so. Had a lot of issues with foreskin like dryness and cracks etc so not sure if it’s all down to a fungal infection. Should probably go to the doctor

[auntiejessi]

Yep, you should probably go to the doctor. :)

The doctor can give you something to treat whatever this is, so you'll feel better, too. That would be a good incentive for me.

It could be a fungal infection, eczema, dermatitis - the list is long and varied, so let your doctor take a look and go from there. Let us know what happens.
