Age 24 Sex Male Height 5'10" Weight 150lbs Race caucasian Duration of complaint bumps appeared 2 days ago Location on body penis Any diagnosed medical issues doctors cant agree on balanitis, lichen planus, nothing, yeast Current medications and doses compound of 2%clindamycin+1%hydrocortisone+loprox cream any recreational drugs no smoking status yes Include a photo if relevant NSFW: Okay so the issue I've been facing for the past year is that I have a constant red area on my glans it used to burn and itch in the beginning but one of the creams I took got rid of that aspect but the redness is still present. My concern now is that in the last 2 days I have grown these odd looking bumps (images) and I am concerned if this whole thing could be an HPV infection, but curious how it could take more than a year for the warts to surface if that's what they are. Also I do not believe it to be pearly penile papules as they are outside of the corona area but I may be wrong. Any insight is appreciated thank you. **Moderator comment:I have deleted the links to the images as they went to a site unsuitable for inclusion in the forums.

To upload photos: Some phones can upload (you have to use desktop mode), but others don't. The scenery icon is the one you need (but the icons don't appear on either of my phones or tablets).  Alternatively: First transfer the photos to a computer. In the computer browser, log in to Patient.info and hit reply in this thread. Click on the 4th icon on the right above the reply box and you can upload photos from there.  ---

Nothing to worry about. These things come and go and sometimes stay.
