I have a tiny tag skin on my penis, is this a wart (HPV)? Help!!

Posted , 2 users are following.

I would like to know if this little tag of skin could be a wart or another different thing. I am feeling depressed because I had heard about HVP and since this one is very small; I am not sure if it is a wart? I I noticied it a week ago an it has not changed its size or color.

I had sex with a lady a week before with the condon, however I am not sure if it is because of that? can someone help me?!

    My case was not answered but I would like to leave here the findings I made on this topic.

    To confirm my doubts about the skin tag I went to the dermatologist

    He checked me out and he told me it was a HPV wart, it doesn't matter if it's very small. he classified it as such

    He checked my scrotum and anus, and found another very small one on the scrotum.

    He removed both skin tags

    He told me that they may appear again. that I had to be aware

    He sent me a cream to prevent them from appearing. which is called imiquimod. and he told me that I had to be vaccinated against HPV.

    I hope that my experience will be of sort of useful to you, always be very careful, the virus can spread through the skin.

    good day

      I can't assure that the one you have is HVP. The best advice is to go to the dermatologist or urologist. It could be something else but just to check. It's better to go.

      Also if it is not HVP I highly recommend you to get the vaccine ASAP. This virus can be transmissible even if you use condom.

      I'm not a doctor but it is my research about it.

      Additionally don't remove that by yourself it has to be made by the doctor, if you try to do it alone it can spread to other places on your skin. Best thing to do is to visit the Doctor.
