Q: Condyloma: are raised red bumps a symptom of another outbrea
asked by: DoctorQuestion on October 6th, 2006
A few months ago, I found a small wart about a mm in diameter on the shaft of my penis, so went to get checked at the sexual health clinic and was diagnosed with condyloma. I found only this one wart and have been treating it for the past month. It appeared probably three months ago or so. However, recently after a holiday weekend in a hot and humid climate (I am living in a colder area at present) where I got very little sleep, I found the night before I came home that I had 4 or 5 slightly raised, red bumps again about a mm in diameter, the only difference being that these bumps are under my pubic hair, as opposed to the shaft, scrotum, anus etc. (which I trim reasonably close but do not shave), and around 2 or 3 inches up from where my penis joins the rest of my body. They are not in a cluster at all, but quite randomly apart. I have searched high and low to see whether it is possible to get the warts in the pubic hair region, but have come up with few answers. For my partner's sake, I guess it is reasonable to assume that they are in fact caused by the hpv virus. Would I be correct in assuming that until I get another checkup? If they are indeed warts, is there anything that can cause an outbreak such as stress, tiredness, overheat etc.? Research seems to suggest not...

According to your description (4-5 slightly raised red bumps in pubic area), It doesn't seem that you are experiencing condyloma again. Condyloma is typical for the genital and anal mucosa and skin where there exists greater moisture. You can go to a dermatovenerologist again to examine these new bumps and establish a correct diagnosis.
