Suggest Treatment For Genital Warts
Question: Do I have HPV, do these look like warts to you?
I recently ended a 5 year monogamous relationship. About 3-4 weeks ago I started having unprotected sex with a new girl. The other day I noticed these three bumps at the base of the shaft of my penis (top side). The bumps are each associated with a hair, coming out of the center/upper portion of each.
There is no pain, no itching, no fluids, no blood. Folliculitis? Warts? I semi-regularly check myself out "down there" and it seemed like one day they just appeared overnight.
