I Have 3 Bumps On My Penis Head No Pain Or Symptoms I Started Famciclover Is It Fine?

Posted on Wed, 14 Dec 2022

Question: I have 3 bumps on my penis head. I went to see a doctor yesterday and he didnt seem too concerned. I sent pictures to a doctor wondering what he thought of the bumps - he did not think it was an STD as it did not look viral. The timeline is as folows:

1. First bump - looking small like a white head appeared about 23 days ago. It is on the right side of the head of the penis above the shaft.
2. Second bump appeared about a week ago - it is also near the base of the penis.
3. Third bump appeared yesterday it looks like a small zit.

I had no pain or symptoms etc until yesterday after I started Famciclover - but it could also be my mind and anxiety -

Non specific dermatitis, apply cortisone cream

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I have gone through your complaints and reviewed the attached photographs.It looks like a nonspecific dermatitis.It is not looking like herpes or any sexually transmitted disease.I would recommend you to apply topical steroid like cortisone cream on the affected areas twice daily for few days.
This should resolve these.

Can you tell me what makes you believe it is not looking like herpes or other std?

Sorry one more question - how long does it last and do outbreaks happen weeks after the original single bump?
Thank you.

Detailed Answer:
Herpes usually presents with multiple fluid filled blisters which rupture to form superficial painful erosions and are associated with pain and burning.
Warts are characterized by skin coloured filiform growths and molluscum are shiny round skin coloured bumps.
All the other stds also present with ulcers or urethral discharge.
A nonspecific dermatitis can occur at any time and new lesions can occur at intervals of time.
Thanks.

Last question I promise - and thank you for your insight. I had no pain up until the small pimple appeared late yesterday - I have no pain urinating - could the burning be due to the fact that small pimple is rubbing against my underwear? The bottom two pimples / bumps never had any discomfort - only difference I can think of is that they were not rubbing against anything?
Again thank you so much for your time and putting me at ease. My Best.
