Suggest Treatment For Hard Bump At The Base Of Penis

default
Posted on Sat, 4 Jun 2016
Question: I have a single, small, hard, non itchy, non pain bump on the base of my penis. It appeared about 4 months after having unprotected sex. Prior to this I had not had sex with anyone that I did not know if they were std free and used a condom. When it first appeared I picked at it and it came off, no puss, just a little blood and that was it. ( I know o should not have done this) the bump came back about a month and a half later in the exact same spot. The bump has not grown in size or multiplied. I also tried the vinager test (probably not very accurate) and it did not show up as white, additionally there is a hair growing out of the side of it which I heard he oral warts can't grow a hair out of them. I am. It sure what it is and unfortunately at this time I do. It have health insurance. I am happy to provide pictures.
