Brief Answer:
HPV or human papilomatous virus

Detailed Answer:
Thank you for contacting HCM with your health care concerns

You believe you may have HPV. This is a very common condition which causes warts on the penis and genital area. The treatment is to use a topical acid called podophyllin. It is applied to the wart twice daily for 3 days and then repeated each week until the wart is resolved. You need to see your medical provider to get a prescription for this medicine.

I hope I answered your question. Please contact us again if you have any additional questions

I can't believe there is no way to upload a picture on this site. This answer is correct obviously but a complete waste of money because I could have gotten this information anywhere on the web.
