Brief Answer:
Warts are most of the time diagnosed by the way they look- kindly upload a couple of images so I can evaluate the lesions.
Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to "Ask a Doctor" service,
I carefully read your query and understand your concern.
There are several causes of lesions on the penis and warts are one of the most common ones.
To diagnose warts a good examination of them is needed. I would kindly advise you to, if possible, upload an image or two of the warts so I can examine them. The way they look gives a lot of clues to determine if these are warts or not.
Another way to know for sure if these are warts is, if they are a bit raised, to scrape off a little of the upper part of the lesion and see if there are some small black dots in the lesion. This is a typical presentation of warts.
Rarely, there is a need to remove a part of the lesion and send it for microscopic examination.
To conclude:
- warts are caused by a sexually transmitted infection called HPV and is the most common sexually transmitted infection.
- diagnosing warts is most of the time straight forward by just examining the lesions, so uploading 1-2 images would be important
- warts can also be diagnosed by scraping off a small part of the top area and checking for small black dots within the lesion
- it is very rarely needed to do other examinations such as taking a part of the lesion and examining it in the microscope (biopsy)
I hope this answers your query.
I remain at your disposal for further medical assistance.
