HPV Question?

[thatoneguy]

Okay, at the bottom is a (NSFW) link from HPVFAQ.com. It shows the glans with many small bumps, but one large (circled) one. I have phimosis and I've just recently been able to expose the glans, and these tiny bumps have been coming up around the urethra and i think spreading back slowly. Are the tiny bumps HPV warts, or just that big one??

Note: the bumps or whatever that I have are nowhere near even the smallest ones in the picture, and I have to be in the right light to see them at all...but this kind of stuff still worries me a little for obvious reasons.

thank you for all help in advance

HPV in men is very difficult to identify in men. My point: there are many reasons you could have tiny bumps on the glas that have never previously been exposed to the world. I really respect your desire to be responsible.

See your doctor and I am betting you are just fine.

Seek your local County's Department of Health...inquire into a STD exam.

As Sera said . . . if you're in the U.S. and near a large city there's usually an STD clinic within Dept of Health that's confidential and based on ability to pay. The one where I live is very loose about payment, basically "if you can and when you get around to it" . . . . . even then it's only $20 for a regular workup.

Okay, I borrowed some money from my parents (which I hate doing!) and went this morning. It was free though, and the bumps I have are ectopic sebaceous glands (had to write that one down lol) so I can stop being paranoid now lol.

See nothing to worry about & it was free. Now you can give the money back to your parents! Often the sebaceous glands fail to open and drain...much seen like on you face when you have a white head--they are commonly found on the back of peoples neck...in places which you can sweat, nice, dark and damp...no fresh air to let the pores open properly.
