Hi, quite an embarrassing topic but i need urgent advice.

i have a common wart on my penis (Not Genital warts, it is a common wart).

it has recently swelled and i was under the impression that it was soon to drop off so applied antiseptic cream and a plaster. i have continued this treatment 3 times daily for the last 4/5 days. on the second day however, i noticed it was bleeding and discharging yellow puss. the bleeding stopped after the second day. However it has continued to discharge yellow puss despite me using anti-septic cream 3 times daily and keeping it covered with a plaster to remove any chance of irritation from walking/moving around.

i would really appreciate any advice anyone has as ive been unable to find any online resources to advise me on this situation.

Thanks in Advance,

Marc.

    That doesnt sound like the reaction of a typical common wart. Has this been diagnosed by a doctor ? If it continues to discharge pus you may need to see a doctor for antibiotics. Antiseptic cream is probably not doing any good. Just keep it well washed and as dry as possible,but do please see a doctor if it continues.
