What Is The Cause For A Fleshy Bump Containing White Puss On My Penis With A History Of HPV?

A couple months ago I got a small fleshy bump on my penis. A couple weeks later I developed a small puss filled white head. I was able to pop it with no problem. It didn't hurt at all but then became a little bigger. I'm a 36 yr old male who's had a history of hpv I contracted from a girlfriend back in 1998. But this doesn't look like any wart I've ever had. As well as I've not had anyother breakouts in years. It is still there and has remained the same size. What could this be?

Hi,

It might be a possible:
- genital infection
- hair follicle infection (due to shaving methods you use)
- re-activated HPV

I advise to:
- get a good genital hygiene, wash with warm water and hypoallergic soap
- rinse it well with warm-and-then-cold water
- apply otc betaine locally

If no improvement within few days (up to 5 days), should consult an OG specialist and run further test to rule out HPV and get proper treatment with oral and local antibiotics.

Hope it helped!
