What does HPV look like on a man?

Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors

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'm a bit concerned about an oval blackish-brown spot I've noticed on the glans of my penis. It doesn't hurt, and the borders are irregular, and its not elevated. I honestly can't remember when it first showed up, but I discovered it after I got circumcised because I had phimosis. Should I be worried about this spot, or is it something that can happen post-circumcision?

I've noticed that every time I apply sunscreen, my face breaks out in rashes. Could you recommend a good sunscreen that might not cause this reaction?

I'm really curious about something. I've been using Fair and Lovely cream for the past six months, and I'm wondering if there are any side effects I should know about. Also, I'm a bit worried that if I stop using it, my face might get darker again. Is that something I should expect?

Fair and Lovely cream contains ingredients like hydroquinone, which can cause side effects such as skin irritation, redness, and thinning of the skin with long-term use. It is not recommended to use hydroquinone-containing products for extended periods of time without medical supervision. If you stop using the cream, your skin may revert back to its original condition, but it is important to transition to a different skincare routine to maintain the results. I recommend consulting a dermatologist for a proper evaluation and guidance on alternative skincare products.
