Ive noticed these very small bumps on my penis head for a while now. They seem to be esier to see when Im erect. Sometimes its they're hard to see. I dont really feel any pain or itchiness. Could this be some type of hpv?
It's often the case that men who have never closely inspected their penis become alarmed by the discovery of normal skin markings or bumps on the penis that have always been there, such as hair follicles, oil glands, or the "bumpy" border between the head and shaft of the penis (called pearly penile papules). New or not usually present bumps on the penis or in the genital area can also be due to non-STD causes, such as irritation from shaving, rubbing on clothing, an infected hair follicle, or an allergic reaction to a new shampoo, soap, or lubricant. Sometimes these skin findings can be easily confused with spots or bumps caused by a sexually transmitted infection.
Another STD that can produce small bumps on penis or surrounding area is human papillomavirus (HPV), the virus that causes genital warts. Typically, warts are found in small clusters, are the same color as the surrounding skin, and grow in patches. They are typically not painful. Unlike herpes bumps which come and go, genital warts are persistent.
Many times it's difficult to tell whether a spot or group of bumps is caused by an STD, or is due to some other cause. The only way to know for sure is to get tested. If you do go to your doctor, keep us posted.
I'm not sure there's a problem there, and it doesn't look like HPV. Personally, I wouldn't see a doctor, but if you do, please let us know what they say.
Did you end up going to the doctors sir?
