Suggest Cure For Infection In The Sphincter Muscle
I am a 25 gay man with a steady partner for the last 5 months.I noticed about a month ago that I had some greyish/blackish scab sort of warts just on the inside of the sphincter muscle.They don't cause me any discomfort and nor do they bleed.But,I don't like the look of them as they look like some sort of fungus.I read about HPV and think I might have caught it.I last had sex with my partner in March this year and he didn't use a condom.The scab sort of thing showed in April after about a month of our last encounter.
Apart from my partner,I had bareback once with my ex partner,in all the other encounters(which numbers 3),I have always had safe sex.With my current partner,I have had unprotected sex about 7-8 times as he was allergic to condoms (he got some reddish dots on his penis head when he used condoms).He seemed to have had a pretty active sex life till a couple of years back and had unprotected sex with women as well as men.But,he has been tested and is clean.He hasn't show any symptoms of HPV either till now.
What would you suggest I should do?

Hi
thanks for posting your query on HCM
HPV is a common cause of Warts in genitals and anus especially when you have once been exposed, that is, if you had once had unprotected sex.It could still be a fungus.I will suggest you get tested for HPV and if possible other STIs as they always move together.A small wart should not make you too worried because local administration of wart cream will clear it off.The most important thing right now is knowing the exact cause.I will suggest you see a Doctor for examination and work-ups.
Hope my answer will help you.
Best regards
