White Bump On Head Of Penis, Frequent Masturbation. Genital Wart?
Hi Doctor, I have a white bump or pimple kinda white stuff on the rim of the head of the penis. It doesnt hurt or I dont feel any discomfort. I have been masturbating quite frequently these day like on an average 4 times a day. So the question is that white thing is that like a genital wart cause the last time I was sexually active was in April 2012. And this white thing just appeared like 2 weeks ago. So I m thinking if its something to worry about or not.

Hi,
Welcome to HCM.
What you have described could be nothing but a condition called as Pearly White Penile Pappule (PPP). It has no clinical importance, not related to any STD or HIV. It is not Genital warts. It will remain for ever will not respond to any treatment which is not warranted also. It is nothing but a skin pappila that becomes visible after your sexual activity or masturbation due to rubbing of foreskin over the glans penis(head).
Confirm with your physician and then ignore the same.
