Suggest Treatment For Small Bumps On The Penis Shaft
I have small bumps on my penile shaft. They are clear fluid filled and they are painful not only to the touch but also when I m not touching them. My doctor thought it was Molluscum contagiosum but now he is unsure as they went away on Monday but now they are back and they are painful. At one point the ER thought it was herpes so I was tested and came back negative so I m at a lost in terms of what it is. Please advise.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
It is good to know that you do not have herpes. Look sometimes these bumps are harmless. But since they are coming back surely it is due to some type of contamination/infection. Remove your bed sheets and towels. If you are sexually active go for an STD test. Avoid unprotected sex. Take care of your hygiene. Some topical ointments can be of some help like Condylox (topical podophyllotoxin cream). Get your tests done at the earliest.
All the best.
Regards,
Dr Nupur K
