Hello
Thanks for choosing wwwhealthcaremagic
If a urologist has told you that there is ni need to worry, you should believe him and relax. This bump could be due to allergy or a small fat lobule. If still you are worried, get fasting blood sugar, urine test and sonography scrotum . Most likely it can't be HPV

He also took a sample of my urine and looked at it under a microscope. He said you can see the HPV virus in urine. Is this true?

I will ask him the next time I see him if it's a electron microscope. He just says he is going to check my urine under one. He came back and said he couldn't see any virus. He even looks down my urethra to my bladder and said he saw no virus. He scans my genital region with a microscope and three different beams of light. Low beam, high beam and then another higher ray of light to detect the virus/wart. Does this sound right?

But what you are saying is if he has looked at it and he is certain it isn't hpv then more then likely it isn't and I need to stop worrying? Correct?

I may just wait and see what happens. Like I said it doesn't itch and it isn't painful. I heard warts can itch and this doesn't itch. I also thought it may be a allergy to the soap I use. I'll just keep an eye on it. For now I will try not to worry.

Where did herpes come from? HPV and herpes are two different viruses. I know its not herpes because I know what herpes looks like. I was concerned it was an hpv wart.

Are you now saying its herpes?

Brief Answer:
Please relax

Detailed Answer:
Hello
I am sorry for the slip, it was supposed to be HPV, not Herpes. You have very mild infection? may be fungal but certainly you are very nuch worried. Please try and relax, there is nothing serious. Many men have such lesions but these seem to be harmless.
