Question: genital warts/moles/skin tags


 nice lady - Fri Oct 14, 2005 10:33 pm

My boyfriend has recently noticed a few round light brown with a hint of pink (solid color) bumps on his penis shaft. He has two very tiny what looks like harmless white skin tags and 3 of these round very slighlty raised bumps. They are not formed together, nor do they have the cauliflower appearance I see with HPV. He also has a dark brown (mole colored) larger skin tag in pubic hair he says has been there a long time. He has a lot of moles on his body in various colors. They (penis bumps) are not unsightly, cause no discomfort and to me look like possible moles. Is there any hope that this could be something other than HPV? What skin disorders other than pearly and molluscum could be possible cause? We have been together 4 1/2 years and I have no visible signs of anything strange at all. We tried straight white wine vinegar on the 3 bumps and after 5 minutes they turned only slightly discolored (a little lighter), more pink than brown, but did not turn pure white. I also hear the vinegar test isn't totally reliable. If HPV, do dermatologists take care of treatment and accurate diagnosis? He doesn't know how long the 3 bumps have been there, but I noticed 2 of them a year ago. They don't appear to have grown or changed shape.

Are you able to post close-up views of these multiple lesions which appear, from your description, to be different from one another?
