Bumps On The Penis. Genital Warts? Could This Be From The Gardasil Shots?

My boyfriend was just told by his doctor that these tiny little flat-like neutral colored bumps around the base of penis are probably HPV/genital warts. If I had the Gardasil shots when I was around 17-18 years old, and am now 22, how likely is that I could or already have contracted it from him? Also, is it possible that even though I had the Gardasil shots that I could have picked up a genital warts strand of HPV and as a carrier given it to him?

Hi there ~

I understand your concerns. The bumps on your penis can be genital warts and they are a form of infection that can be taken care of by medication. However your description of the lesion is very limited and you need to consult a dermatologist who can examine the lesions, confirm the diagnosis and give you the right treatment. I hope this helps.

Take care and have a lovely day!
