Suggest Treatment For Shiny Pinkish Bumps On Penis And Foreskin

Posted on Thu, 25 Sep 2014

Question: I have already seen a male doctor about this, and when I was visiting him he brought in a female doctor to get a second opinion. The odd thing is they weren't in agreement at all. The female doctor immediately said they looked like Molluscum Contagiousum, but the male doctor said he was leaning towards HPV.

I have had unprotected sex with 2 women in the past, and I was in a relationship with both of them and neither of which have reported to me about any issues they're having as of yet. The bumps are shiny pinkish colored, located on the shaft, one located on the foreskin just below the head, and one near the Urethra. I've been using Immiquimoid (whatever it's called) for about 2 weeks and I haven't noticed a slight change at all. If anything I've noticed more pop up. I'm not sure what to make of it. Is this really a result of HPV or MC?

I'm currently working on finding a way to get a clearer photo, but for right now I don't seem to have a camera good enough. I have had these bumps for about 6 weeks now. I have had sex with 6 people, 4 of which I used protection and 2 of which I did not. The last girlfriend I had we had sex in the beginning of XXXXXXX (the last time we did it), and about 4 weeks later I noticed a bump where the vein is on the shaft. The bumps themselves are very shiny, to the point that they look like they are white lesions, but they have a pink color to them as well. Pin point sized bumps they are.

?molluscum.go for histopathology examination.

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thank you for follow up query.
With the given description that it is pin point and white in centre and the size what appears in photo I would go more towards molluscum contagiosum.
Please if in doubt even by doctors then you can ask for histopathological examination of lesions to confirm the diagnosis.
You can get back for any clarification else please close the discussion and rate
