Possibility of genital warts

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to ask a doctor service. I have read your query and viewed the images.

I can see raised, skin coloured bumps on glans and underside of penis. They could be genital warts (HPV).

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if you need any more assistance.

Can HPV be cured on its own? Based on your experience are you completely sure it cant be pearly papules or something else?

Thank you! for letting me know.

Brief Answer:
Regarding HPV infection

Detailed Answer:
Hi.

As far as those 2 bumps are concerned, they don't look like penile papules to me. I suggest you to get the warts cauterised or fulgurated. HPV infection resolves in majority as body's own immunity takes care of the infection. Removal of visible warts is helpful in eradicating HPV infection as they are the source of infection.

Take care
