Patient's Query

Hello Doctor,

I am facing an issue of bumps on my penis. It has been five to six months they are still the same. At initial, their size was small, and then they grew a little bigger, and now one of them is turned a little black. There are almost fourteen to fifteen bumps at the backside of my penis and two at the starting and ending of the testicle area. They are painless, and I tried to press them, but they do not hurt. I am attaching an image to explain why they happened either by using a condom and it is something to be worried about.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

The lesions more probably look like molluscum contagiosum (MC). MC is a virus that gets from the skin to skin contact. Your partner might have this already, and you have got it from her. It is not a dangerous virus. The one who has sensitive skin gets it. This does not mean that your partner is infected or something. It can come on anyone through any source like sharing towels, utensils, or sexual intercourse. They will go by few dermatological procedures like cryotherapy, curettage. So get visited a dermatological clinic, they will remove it by these procedures.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
