Things that go BUMP - Sexually Transmitted Diseases Message Board

Hello all,

I was stupid enough to have unprotected sex with an unknown female recently. About a week later I noticed a small bumpy area under the head of my penis. I showed it to my doc (didn't trust his opinion) and he said it was nothing. The area is quite scaly now and there seems to be a number of tiny white pimples around it. It's all quiet difficult to see unless you put a strong light on it. If I run my finger across the area feels bumpy!!

Anybody know what this might be? I don't think its herpes as it’s not sore to touch and has been the same for about 2 months now. But I am worried about HPV.

All help is greatly appreciated, thanks for reading this.

Thats not HPV. That is pearly penile papules. Most guys have them. Why did you see them now? Because you are observing yourself under a giant microscope. Your doc was right. Relax.
