i have one small growth, the size of a pea, on the teabag. there is only one, no redness, no spreading, no itching, no pain, no sensitivity. in fact, i only noticed it 2 months ago when it was already that size - i have no idea how long it's actually been there. however, it has not grown or changed at all in the 2 months since i've noticed it.
anyway, it's not rough to the touch, or discolored. it just looks like there's a pea under my skin. i'm not even 100% sure it's a wart. anyway, i read and heard that genital warts usually itch or burn, and are usually accompanied by redness, and i got none of that. the only reason i dont forget about it is because i'm worried it could be harmful. however, i have regular unprotected sex with my fiancée, and she has zero symptoms. (pretty scary though, since warts are caused by HPV, which also causes 90% of cervical cancer.)
so, should i see a doctor? or should i get some compound-w and see if that doesn't help?

i would definitely not use the compound-w on your privates unless you like pain...go have your Dr. check it out, if you do not want to use your regular Dr. find another so you can have a little peace at night and it might be a mole or something but at least it will put your mind at ease...
good luck

Definitely get it checked out. It sounds like genital warts, and you need to be treated.
Do not engage in any sexual behavior until AFTER your MD appointment.
Good luck.

Yes you should see a doctor! Too many things is could be, catching it quickly is important, and knowing if it isn't anything will give you peace of mind!

Don't get so excited, most people have ten or eleven of these, on them somewhere on their body I mean, you just happen to have one there so, go to a doctor, he'll probably tell you to leave it alone.

Maybe it might be an ingrown hair. Have your Fiance check you and see if it is. Ingrown hairs tend to look like that sometimes.
