Is this HPV? (pics attached)

Posted , 5 users are following.

The texture of my penis is scaly and bumpy with some grooves on it. It's been like for as long as i can remember. There's no pain. What is it and is there a way to get rid of the bumps and smooth out the skin?

    It does look unusual, but if it's always been like it and you don't see changes over time, I think it's just how you are made and can't be helped.

    Do your hands or feet have an abnormal amount of calluses on them?

      Have you seen a dr for it?

      Not yet, I really just wanted to have some kind of idea as to what it might be?

      I haven't seen it before. Are those dark spots wounds from the dryness?

      No, I'm pretty sure those are freckles. I used to masturbate without any kind of lubricant which resulted in my penis being dry all the time so maybe that might have something to do with it?

    I have no idea what that might be, but if it's always been like that, then I suspect it's nothing to worry about.  I'd get checked out though.  You could either see your GP, or if you're in the UK, you could go to a genitourinary medicine (GUM) clinic - google "GUM clinic near me" for details.

    If you could update this thread and tell us what the doctors say, it would be appreciated.  Good luck.

      I am planning to see a doctor and I'll update.
