Can anyone tell me are these herpes or any pappiloma virus

[Anonymous11122]

Went to surgeon he said ..its due to stitches after circumcission

[Anon537 in reply to Anon537]

But I haven’t have mine circumcised

[Anonymous11122 in reply to Anon537]

Is that natural or std

[Anon537 in reply to Anonymous11122]

I’m not sure. I had it when I went to get tests done for anything and the tests came back negative so I know it’s not anything disease wise hopefully. I remember buying underwear and I got it after I wore them. They were Calvin Klein ones so idk what the problem was. I’m pretty positive it isn’t an std. and how is yours due to stitches? I never had stitches in mine. And which part are you talking about?

***I am NOT a medical professional***

I may be wrong but I think I used to have these since childhood. However, if they are what I think they are they reduce in size and visibility as you grow older. Now (in my case) you'd never know they were there in the first place.

Right, now the medical bit. As far as I know these are called Penile Pearly Papules (Penile epithelial neoplasia). From my own research, they are normal, fairly common (though rarely talked about) and are present in between 8% to 45% of men.

dermnetnz.org/topics/pearly... is an excellent resource, and to ease your worry a bit try a google image search for penile pearly papules as it's sometimes helpful to see pictures of other people with the same manifestation. I deliberately avoided using the term 'people with the same problem' because it’s only a problem in a self-esteem, anxiety and an 'am I the only one?' way.

On the google site there are of course the usual money-grabbing 'cures' that prey on your anxiety, and there are some ads for things that may help. I have no experience of using ANY 'cures' so I cannot in good faith recommend any products you might stumble across. You should never buy medications for anything online anyway. If you really feel the need to have them removed due to the psychological impact, then the only cure you should even consider is YOUR GP OR A SEXUAL HEALTH CLINIC and I would implore you to go down this route.

To be blunt, just grow a pair and go flash your dick at the professionals. Don't forget, embarrassment is no excuse, they've seen everything imaginable, dealt with stuff you can't even begin to visualise and seen every size, shape and colour of every cock ever made.

I really hope I’ve helped you a little. I write this as someone who worried about the exact same thing for years, and for no reason. Stay well during these difficult corona times.

Peace,

I am a med student (final year). Doesn't look like HPV to me. Definitelynot herpes because that usually has a red/fluid filled vesicles with pain.

Your tests came back NEGATIVE. That's the most important piece of info. So why worry buddy?
