What Causes Blackish Moles On Palm With Negative STD Test Result?

Posted on Fri, 19 Dec 2014

Question: Hi doctor. I have had a few blackish corn/ moles/ blisters on my left palm develop over the last two years. Three of these have formed in less than a year. These are non-itchy and one of them has spread as I initially tried to take the skin out . I am afraid if this is not an STD. I got tested last year and all results were negative. Could you please advice on what these are and what treatment I should get. Or whether I should get them seen by a doctor. FYI- over the last six months I have had unprotected sex a few times with my girlfriend

Detailed Answer:
Hello. Thanks for writing to us at healthcaremagic

I have gone through your query and I have also seen the photographs.

These are most likely Viral warts/Common warts. It is a viral infection caused by Human Papilloma Virus (HPV). No, it is not an STD

Warts can be easily removed either with Freezing/cryotherapy Or with Radiofrequency cautery.
I would suggest that you visit a specialist dermatologist in your region for the needful.

Regards
