Hey everyone. I am writing to ask what does it mean when a guy has a hard bump on his penis. I was checking out my dude's privates and saw a hard bump that looks like it has a scab on it. He has had this bump for over a year and says that it is a "mole." I am scared that if we have sex I will contract an STD. What the heck it this. It does not look like a mole to me...it looks more like a wart or something, but it is hard and has a scab on it. Could it be HIV or herpes. he has had it in the same spot for a long time and never has had another one.

My guess, it's probably a wart. Haven't you ever heard of genital warts? It's caused by the HPV virus that 80% of the population carries. It can cause warts on both men and women, and it can cause cervical cancer in women. I had a hysterectomy at 28, because of my cervix. Use a condom. I wouldn't say it is herpes, because herpes only flare up every now and then, usually during stress, but the warts will sometimes stay until they are removed.

First off, before you have sex with him, just suggest that you both go and get tested. It really isn't an embarrassing thing to ask your dude, especially if you are so concerned as to writing your question here on yahoo. If he says no, (which really is the worst that can happen) then I would be worried. Just tell him, that you are going to get tested too! Going together is always best, you get your results back at the same time too! I personally wouldn't want to sleep with someone if I was wondering things like you are. If you don't do this, you are potentially risking your own health. Is this something that you can live with? No, so go and get tested with him! Be careful, I don't know you, and I care about your health! You should put yourself first, and care about your own health over his until you can know for sure! I hope this helps!
p.s. if you don't think it is a mole, then it is probably not. trust your gut!

I dont know much about STDs but it seems that if it hasnt gone away in a year something is wrong, and you can tell the difference between a wart and a mole. Ask him to go get a std test before you will have any sexual contact. Because some of those STDs can make you have problems conciving children later. Definatly make him get th.at checked on, dont jeprodize your health for sex. If you do have sex make sure to use a condom everytime.

One painless bump on the head of the penis is usually Syphilis caused by Treponema Pallidum. Multiple painless or painful bumps could be HPV (Human Papilloma Virus). Multiple painful bumps could also be Herpes Simplex Virus. Painful bumps could also be a Chancroid caused by Haemophilus Duycrei. Syphilis and Chancroid can be treated with antibiotics. If syphilis is not treated, it can lead to SERIOUS neurological problems. HPV and Herpes can't be treated, although Herpes outbreaks can be reduced with anti-viral drugs such as Valtrex (valcyclovir). HPV is a viral infection that may cause cervical cancer in women... please inform your sexual partner if you have HPV because condoms may not protect against HPV.
Get tested.

Tell his sick butt to go to the doctor u take him there and get the paper work from the doctor u do not need hpv from him because it is a life long thing. it could be a wart that got a scab on it because he was trying to remove it himself. and it he does not go to the doctor dump his ***. i dont know why u would consider having sex with someone with a scab on there penis anyway. on wait he had this for over a year and u have not had sex with him in the last year? have u had sex with him at all if so it might be to late for you

Do you really want a scabbed penis inside of you? *shuddering*
Seriously, make him go to the doctor. He says it's "a mole?" Uh-uh, don't trust that. Tell him, that you want to see, IN WRITING, what the doctor says. And make sure it's legit.
Do NOT have sex with him until you are sure of what "it" is. Of any kind. No oral, no anal; nothing.

It could be either or about a hundred more, if I were you I'd get him to a Dr. to be tested and knock off the unprotected sex with him until I knew we were both safe and he was trustworthy (this could have happened after you got with him!)

Sounds like it could be venereal warts. He needs to get back to a doctor and so do you.

Let him get that checked out you don't even know what it is. One thing I do know is that no mole has scabs on them.
