Suggest Treatment For Bumps In The Groin Area
Question: hi there. recently I noticed some bumps in my man region. the bumps are very few but in my pubic area. I haven't sex sex in months and never noticed them until recently so I'm not sure if it's a sexually transmitted disease but the hosts I did have sex with before we're clean or told me so. anyways, they do not hurt or itch, they just look like bumps of skin and if I open one up it just bleeds, no puss or anything. I'm not alergic to anything and haven't used anything different in my life so I'm worried.
Brief Answer:
Can be genital warts.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
I have seen the attached image. This does sound like a possible case of genital warts. This is caused by a virus. This virus is very common in the population. Some estimates place the prevalence of genital warts at 20 to 30% of the population sometimes even higher depending on location.
This virus is referred to as a papilloma virus. The virus is transmitted sexually. In order to transmit the virus one does not necessarily need to have any symptoms or any warts. The virus simply lives on and under the skin.
The only way to really make sure that what is going on with you is related to a genital wart would be to see your physician. Your physician can perform a thorough examination and do a very brief test to see if these are really genital warts. If this is the case, there are options for treatment. Let me reassure you of that. As far as treatment goes there are several options. Among the these option would be to use a special cream which will help the warts dissolves and go away. In addition there is also a treatment where a doctor can use a small instrument to freeze of the wards. They will then dissolve and go away.
Other possible causes can be dermatitis or inflammation. I really encourage you to visit with your primary care physician for an true and thorough examination. There is no substitute for an examination to really find out what is going on.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.

do you know if I would have type 6 or 11 genital warts? my significant other tells me if it is either one then we are safe but the hpv shot only works against 90% of the warts people have. is there a way to tell because the doctor I went to, he is just a random doctor so I don't know how to get ahold of him. let me know. thanks.
