Suggest Treatment For Bumps On Underside Of Penis

default
Posted on Mon, 9 Nov 2015
Question: RE: Dermatologist

Hi Doctor!

I've recently had unprotected sex and notice a little patch of bumps on the underside of my penis. My initial thoughts are HPV, but I’m not sure.

I visited a local Urologist here (I was only able to find a Urologist who speaks English on short order - I would have had to wait a week for a dermatologist).

He took a look at my penis and immediately said herpes. He prescribed anti-viral medication.

My concern is that it sounds like herpes is fluid filled blisters that pop by themselves, are painful, cause painful urination, fever, etc. I am experiencing none of these symptoms, everything feels very normal other than my penis (visually) which has seen better days.

I'm actually fairly certain that the lesions wouldn't have popped, or turned white had I not applied the Apple Cider Vinegar.

Here is the progression of the sores:

Day 5 (After applying vinegar): http://imgur.com/iGMeXPx
Day 6: http://imgur.com/roOeBvl
Day 7 (today): http://imgur.com/4xZAtdt

Do you think I should ask a second opinion? I don't think it's herpes.

Brief Answer:
Unlikely to be herpes.

Detailed Answer:
Hi


I would suggest you to visit another dermatologist as it appears to be HPV as per history so that appropriate treatment can be initiated. Get complete haemogram, VDRL, chlamydia, gonorrhea and HSV testing done.


Take care
