What Causes Raised Mass Of Soft Tissue Next To The Frenulum Of The Penis?
Hello,
I've been diagnosed with HPV having had treatment for one wart which appeared a 6 months ago, and has pretty much nearly gone after treatment. Now however, I've noticed a raised mass of soft tissue next to the frenulum of my penis, and I'm concerned as to what this could indicate. It looks about the same size as that of a pea but strangely it seems to change size every now and then. Could you give me any possible ideas as to what it is? Thanks

Hello,
If you had unprotected sex, need to think of other STI. If not, it can be an outbreak. Once HPV affected is always affected.
You can get an outbreak once in a while. Using antiviral will subside outbreak symptoms.
if its not STI it can be Acne,
Fordyce spots-which develop when skin's pores are clogged with natural oil, called sebum, sweat, dead skin, it can also cause infection
Skin tag – it's normal, happens in age advances
Lichen planus - Ingrown hair which is painful can leads to infection, needs medical management, Rough Masturbation/Sex.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
