Is this a mole or a wart? Can you please help me?

Posted , 3 users are following.

A few days ago I shaved my pubic hair and I saw this little brownish dot on my penis that I haven't seen before. It kinda looks like a mole and I have a few freckles on the shaft of my penis, but I'm kinda stressed because of this new one. I only have had unprotected sex with a girl four years ago, after that I used a condom for every sexual relationship I've had, but not for oral sex. All of the girls I've had sex with looked pretty healthy and I didn't see anything weird on them. I know HPV can be asymptomatic, but well, I would like to think my probabilities of having HPV are low. Thanks a lot in advance.image

    Dear michael,

    It look like a small genital wart, but a close-up photo would help. It's significant that the lump, if it is a genital wart, is located at the base of the penis. This part is not covered by the condom.

      It's not that bumpy, it's not hard being honest. When my penis is flacid it looks a little bit fleshy, but when I stretch my penis (like the pic above), this brown spot looks just like a mark or something like that. It doesn't feel rough.

    Thanks michael,

    It looks less like a wart on close-up; possibly just a small mole. You've got photos now as a baseline so wait a month or so and take more photos again (and re-post) to allow comparison.
