What Causes Tiny Boil Like Skin Blemishes On Penis?
Question: Hi
I've noticed two tiny boil like skin blemishes , one on the shaft , one near the head.
They are totally painless and I don't know how long I have had them.
I have booked an STI check appointment with a clinic already just to be safe but I'm also looking for an opinion here. Last time I had sex was nearly 18 months ago, and I did have unprotected sex about 2 years ago ( although I doubt that I caught an STD). My last HIV check 1.5 year ago was negative.
Thankyou

Brief Answer:
Possible viral
Detailed Answer:
Hi and welcome.
Considering these photos this may be infectious and in this case it would be viral such as HPV or moluscum. noninfectious disease would be fibroma that may occur at any age. I suggest to check markers for herpes,HPV and moluscum contagiousm. if these are negative then this is probably just fibroma and it can be removed easily. Wish you good health. Regards
