I’m scared I have hpv, is this?

Posted , 4 users are following.

I haven’t had a sexual encounter since about January, but I was seeing a girl who told me she has herpes in April. This made me worried and a bit stressed. We stopped seeing each other. I did touch her, but only with my hand. I also went to an std clinic in May and was cleared at the time. Between then I used lotramin on my penis, for about a week, this helped work some itching I was having. I went to an urgent care in mid June and was prescribed beta something steroid cream. I used this for about 10 days. About a week ago I noticed weird growths on my penis. I’m 24.

    If you didn’t have sex with her, I wouldn’t worry, you could be having an allergic reaction to the cream but still get tested to relieve the stress that you’re having.

    James, I do not see anything wrong in those photos. However, if you are concerned please see your healthcare provider for a closer examination.

    Just so you know, HPV is human papillomavirus which causes warts. Herpes is HSV (herpes simplex virus)
