Patient's question:
I would like to ask, I don't know when a rice-grain-sized hard lump grew inside the foreskin, it doesn't itch, doesn't hurt, and it's not getting bigger. What could be the matter? Is it some kind of disease? First question supplement: If it's not inflammation, would it go away on its own?Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on the above description, your condition may be a case of pearl-like papules or genital warts. Pearl-like papules refer to small papules, the size of rice grains or needle tips, arranged in one or more rows around the corona, generally without any discomfort and may not require treatment. Genital warts are a sexually transmitted disease caused by human papillomavirus infection, characterized by small papules or nipple-like elevations on the corona, glans, or foreskin, which can gradually enlarge. Currently, it is recommended that you first promptly visit a formal urology hospital for blood virus testing to rule out genital warts. After confirming the diagnosis, targeted treatment can be administered. Do not worry too much now; as long as you undergo systematic treatment in a timely manner, it can be cured. In daily life, avoid spicy and irritating foods, maintain timely hygiene, and keep the perineal area clean.
