Posted on Thu, 16 Feb 2017

Question: Hello, so I have a some XXXXXXX raised bumps on my pubic area and like 2-3 XXXXXXX on my shaft. I do shave, wear tighter waist pants as well belt tight. I have looked up everything but the more I looks up the more it worries you got something major. I'm not sure if it's razor bumps, MC or something worse.

Detailed Answer:
Hello. Thank you for writing to us

I am dr.kakkar(dermatologist). I have gone through your query and i have viewed the images. I can see skin colored raised bumps at the base of shaft of penis which seem more like genital warts rather than molluscum. I request you to kindly upload a few more clear focussed mages so that i am absolutely sure about these.

Regards

Brief Answer:
Genital warts

Detailed Answer:
Hi.

I have reviewed the Images.
These seem like genital warts. Genital warts are an infection due to human papilloma virus (HPV). It is an STD. I suggest either radiofrequency Or electrocautery fulguration.

Brief Answer:
Imiquimod cream is available but only on prescription

Detailed Answer:
Hi.

I suggest you to visit a dermatologist.
There is a cream available i.e Imiquimod 5% cream but that is a prescription medication. It has to be applied for at least 6 - 8 weeks. There are other medical options too e.g podophyllotoxin cream application but it is also a prescription medication.
Shaving creates minor superficial abrasions and therefore it would encourage spread of infection as it would help innoculate virus on neighboring skin.
