HPV or am i crazy

---

Ok........this started in February 2004. I was seeing a girl and it didn't end up working out. The whole time we were dating she kept telling me she had cervical cancer and she eventually got it removed completely in the month we were dating. She said it was inherited and so on. I didn't know anything about it. After we split i started researching it and found out that cancerous cells on the cervix were most often related to HPV/genital warts. I got really worried but nothing seemed to appear.........until July of 2004 i noticed 2 very small whitish bumps about half way up the shaft of my penis. Since then there are about 5 to 6 on the right side a little spread apart. And about 2 to 3 now on the left side that are even smaller. Plus the whole head( or glans) of my penis seems to look more irritated and had a rougher appearance. I have been to 10 doctors, one sexual health nurse, one dermatologist and i will be seeing one more dermatologist(a female this time) in may. They all say it doesn't appear to be HPV........but they aren't telling me what they think it is then. The nurse diagnosed me with molluscum. one doctor said it looked like new glands or folicules forming. the others didn't really say anything but seemed to not want to deal with it. The dermatologist then said it wasn't molluscum but didn't give me a definite answer on it either. Im hoping the female derm can shed some new light on this mind bending experience These new bumps and skin changes really were not there a year ago. I am 25 years old and don't think i would be developing and new glands etc so high on my shaft at this point If anyone has any idea or insightful info on my situation i would bow down to you. Thanks for reading

The HPV virus strain that causes "warts" generally do not cause cancer. So you have that much going for you.

Also males get small benign cysts on their penises sometimes that are completely normal. They appear to be smooth and can increase and decrease with size. There are over 100 types of HPV and only a few of those produce warts. If several doctors have said it was nothing, then I am sure they are just normal bumps that are common for many guys to get. They come and go

Genital warts is the main cause of cervical cancer.

No you are wrong. HPV is, but not the wart strain. Please note that I said "generally", meaning that the wart strain has a low/lower risk of cancer.Background: Genital warts are an epidermal manifestation attributed to the epidermotropic human papillomavirus (HPV). Over 75 types of double-stranded HPV papovavirus have been isolated thus far. Many have been linked directly to an increased neoplastic risk in men and women. Approximately 90% of all genital warts are related to HPV types 6 and 11 (HPV-6, HPV-11). These are the least likely to have neoplastic potential. Thirteen HPV types (ie, 33, 35, 39, 40, 43, 45, 51-56, 58) have a moderate risk for neoplastic conversion; HPV-16 and HPV-18 are considered high risk. This picture is complicated by the proven coexistence of many types in the same patient (10-15%), lack of adequate information on the oncogenic potential of many other types, and ongoing identification of additional HPV-related clinical pathology. For example, bowenoid papulosis, seborrheic keratoses, and Buschke-Lowenstein tumors—previously parts of the differential diagnosis of genital warts—all have been linked to HPV infections. Bowenoid papulosis consists of rough papular eruptions and is considered a carcinoma in situ. Eruptions can be red, brown, or flesh colored and may regress or become invasive. Seborrheic keratoses previously were considered a benign skin manifestation. These consist of rough plaques and have an infectious and an oncogenic potential. Buschke-Lowenstein tumor (giant condyloma) is a fungating, locally invasive, low-grade cancer attributed to HPVhttp://www.emedicine.com/emerg/topic640.htm
