What are the small flat bumps on penis?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

There are small flat bumps on penis. Is it herpes? I had rather rough sex with a partner a week before noticing these. I have been tested before and it has been negative and I have never had this before.

Please help.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I am not going in favour of herpes.It looks like initial stages of penile lichen planus (attachment has been removed to protect patient identity). Herpes genitalis starts with a fluid filled blisters and do not remain for so long.

Thank you.

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

Thank you for your reply.

  1. Is there any treatment I should get?
  2. Should I be worried about this stage?
  3. Can I continue to be intimate with my partner?
  4. How long will this last?

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I would suggest Mometasone cream twice daily. Consult your specialist doctor, discuss with him or her, and take medications with their consent. There is nothing to worry and it is not a communicable disease. So, no problem with intercourse. Prognosis is unpredictable with permanent remission in a few cases.

Thank you.
