I've noticed these pink bumps or genital warts on the glans of my penis for about 16 years now. I suspect it might be HPV, but Ive never had any tests or diagnosis done. They dont cause any health problems and haven't really changed in number, maybe just a tiny increase over the years. I haven't had any treatment yet. What do you think I should do about this?

What does HPV look like on a man?

In men, genital warts can infect the urethra, penis, scrotum, and rectal area. The warts can appear as soft, raised masses with a surface that can be smooth (on the penile shaft) or rough with many fingerlike projections (anal warts). Others may appear pearly, cauliflower-like, or rough with a slightly dark surface.

I've had grey hair for 34 years, and now Ive noticed my beard is turning grey-white too. I tried using Altris gel as my doctor suggested for 34 months, but it didn't help. Is there any real cure for this issue? It really concerns me.

Altris gel you will have to use it for a year or so to see results. And deficiencies have to be corrected as well. There are clinical studies showing results with this but you will have to do it long term .

I've been having this issue for the past six months where I notice some white patches on the glans of my penis, which come off easily after washing. Theres also a small red spot inside the foreskin with some light itching. I got a VDRL test done and it came back negative. I've been using zoster ointment, but I'm a bit worried. Whenever I have physical relations, sometimes the glans gets a bit red, and the foreskin seems to shrink and tighten. Should I be concerned about this, and is there anything else I should be doing or looking into?

Probable diagnosis is fungal infection. Candid cream for local application is advised for 2 weeks, along with tab levocetrizine 10 mg orally,daily for 5 days is advised to the patient.
