Detailed Answer:
Hello.

Welcome to Healthcare Magic.

I read your query and evaluated carefully the picture you send.

I can tell that the most probable diagnosis considering the look,the fact that it has been there for 6 months and that you are sexually active is a genital wart.
Genital warts appear in various sizes and shapes.They can be single or many,raised or flat ,flesh colored or cauliflower-like bumps etc.

I would suggest to consult a physician for physical examination.
There is no specific test in man for genital warts.Usually it is diagnosed by closely physical examination.The doctor can also remove it if needed.

Genital warts are signs of a sexually transmitted infection from HPV virus.
You should always wear a condom during sexual intercourse to avoid spreading the virus.

Hope it helps.
Let me know if you need further help.

Kind regards,
Dr.Rovena Murati
