Bumps on base of penis

Posted , 2 users are following.

Hi all, I'm sexually active but haven't been in the last month or so, recently I noticed a few painless bumps on the base of my penis. I'm almost certain unfortunately that it's genital warts. But I can't figure out how to post a picture to clarify. Can anyone help?

    You need to be on a PC or laptop with a large window to add pictures.  If you are, then you should see some extra icons towards the top right of where you type, and the right hand icon (which I think is supposed to look like the sun over hills) will add images.

    The pic I've attached here shows the icons:

    this is it. I'm pretty certain its HPV based on my own research, any other opinions?

      Those could be warts, or maybe molluscum contagiosum, or something else altogether.  I'd definitely get them checked out if I were you.  You could either see your GP, or if you're in the UK, you could go to a genitourinary medicine (GUM) clinic - google "GUM clinic near me" for details.

      If you could update this thread and tell us what the doctors say, it would be appreciated.  Good luck.
