Question: I have a cauliflower type lesion on the head of my penis. im 74 and have not been sexually active for 3 years.
Brief Answer:
This may be due to human papilloma virus.
Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome,
A cauliflower type lesion on the penis can be from Human Papilloma Virus which can cause genital warts.
When HPV is left untreated, it can turn into a premalignant tumor called Giant Condyloma Acuminata, which can progress to penile cancer.
So I would advise that you go in to have this treated by a urologist or dermatologist.
I hope this information helps.
