Hi all,

I'm not sure how long i've had this thing, just wondering what does it look like to you?

Is this a genital wart? If not, what on earth is it? it doesn't hurt or anything... its just kind of there.

thanks for your help!

    I'm going trough something similar...there are 2 members here that are more capable of giving you advice, but based on 1 month of daily research what I would recommend is that you Google moluscum and see a closeup, then check yours to see if you notice a dot in the middle, if it is moluscum you're lucky, it's harmless and not related to cancer, it's contageous but you can burn it off at the doctor.

      Hey Jason, thanks for the reply.

      I must say, it does kind of look like moluscum...

      God knows where I got it from if it is

    Both genital warts and Molluscum are things you would either have lots of, or at least several - and in my opinion it looks like neither.

    It looks more like a wart that you can get anywhere on your body.

    Adhari who is the other regular responder on here would be able to give you a more accurate description of what this is.

    The bump on the head of your penis is probably best described as a skin imperfection and it will vary in size dependant on the demands of sex and masturbation that the tip of your penis experiences.
