Patient's question:
All symptoms: There is a small lump at the frenulum of the penis, which doesn't hurt much when touched, with a cartilaginous texture.Onset time and cause: Discovered today.
Treatment status: None.
Help needed: Is it possible that I have a disease?
Doctor's answer:
Perform the acetic acid test yourself: Apply a cotton swab dipped in vinegar to the affected area for 3 minutes. If it turns white after removal, it is classified as genital warts and requires active treatment. If there is no color change, you can rest assured—it is a type of skin condition known as condyloma acuminata, or genital warts. This is a skin condition that does not progress, is painless, itchy, or uncomfortable, and does not affect sexual function or spread. However, it can cause pain during intercourse because friction between the wart and the vaginal wall may lead to rupture and bleeding, resulting in pain. If you have phimosis, you should undergo circumcision first before treatment. It can be left untreated, but if treatment is desired, it is essential to consult a dermatologist at a regular hospital for diagnosis and treatment.
