Warts or what
Hi i’m a 27 year old male and have posted here a couple of times. I went to the dermatologist today for the second time and he says that I don’t have any warts. This was somewhat of a relief but unfortunately i’ve got something going on down there though. I did have a couple of small one’s which I treated with Aldara and they went away, thankfully, but now I have this rash, for lack of a better term, and I think it looks like warts-the doctor doesn’t. He said that it didn’t look like any wart he had ever seen. Has anyone else had a misdiagnosis or have this skin condition that kind of looks like warts. I know that I do have HPV because I did have one breakout and my girlfriend was diagnosed. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I’m feeling very confused and just would like a straight answer but I’ve gone to three different doctors and have had three different opinions. It seems like no one is really sure what the hell is going on. Anyway good to vent a little frustration at this god damn thing.
well, not exactly a rash, but i coulda SWORN that i had a bunch of lil warts on the head of my penis, and at least 3 docs said that they’re actually “pearly penile papules”, often mistaken for warts, and only occuring in like one outta 10 males. They’re purportedly “completely benign”… harmless. But every time i look at them I freak out, but since i’ve noticed them, i’ve mostly forgotten about ‘em. I try and look at the positive side and figure that I have a naturally studded penis… who needs specially designed trojans when ya got ME? }:P
hi im female so i dont know if this info is any use but i am so mad as this has happened to me twice now.the first time i went to the clinic i had what i would describe as little pink skin tags. i new they where warts as i didnt have them before.the Doctor lets say DrB told me it was nothing to worry about however a week later the ‘skin tags’ blossomed into white lumps(warts). So it was back to the clinic and i got them frozen off by a different doctor.Just today, i went back as the lumps are back (very small) but they are there.But guess what? got DrB again and strangly according to her i have no warts!!!.This is a load of crap i know the pink tags where not there a week ago and i am really frustrated. i have now come to the conclusion that im gonna have to treat myself.Can anyone recommend a treatment i could buy online? Also just started dating a guy 4months ago and although we dont have sex or gentitial contact i have now read i can pass the virus on through his hand touching me and then him touching himself. i may add DrB claims this isnt true however i am considering shooting DrB at present!! Please anyone with any answers please reply
I had a really similar thing happen. Over a year ago I went to a university campus gyno with a strange little bump. She said since it was nothing and sent me home. It eventually went away. A few months ago, I got another one (looked exactly the same), and it became two, so I went to the free clinic in town. They recognized it immediately and I’ve been treated and was given some pretty good information. I think that it spreads so often because many doctors aren’t trained to recognize it, so we go off thinking that we’re fine, and end up spreading it to others before we ever find out.
ya… I’d second shooting DrB… if only for the sake of saving the next patient. Also… i never had lazer surgery, but perhaps the black spots were just a result of the lasers surgery burning the warts? Otherwise, I’d get that checked out yet again, and REFUSE to see DrB… ‘cuz black is sometimes a bad color when it comes to skin anomalies.
