Is A Wart Considered To Be A Symptom Of HIV?
i have a small slightly raised bump on the top of my foreskin. It does not hurt or itch. It is not a blister it is not filled with pus. It's more like a swollen pimple but nothing can be squeezed out. Is been there for about a year now. I picked at it when i first noticed it and it did bleed. It formed a scab after that and now it sort of looks like a scar or scar tissue. I was somewhat promiscous before seeing some sex workers and although I tried to be very safe therr were a few times where intercourse did happen without protection. Ive been to a sexual health clinic 4 times now and the diagnose the first 3 times was that it was probably nothing. The last and 4 time the doctor froze off the bump thinking it could be a wart but she wasnt 100% sure. Now after the treatment the scab from the freezing has fallen off but the original bump is still there looking like it first did when i first noticed it. Is it a normal skin bump or hpv

Hello
Thanks for query .
Based on the facts that you have described the small lump that you have on foreskin since one year is most likely to be a Sebaceous Cyst,
However the the dianosis can be confirmed only on clinical examination in person .
You need to consult qualified General surgeon for clinical examination .
he would be the best judge to decide need for it to get it excised along with sac (in Toto ).
This is a simple surgery done as a out patient procedure and offers permanent cure .
Please do not worry this is definitely not HIV.
