Hello, I have been sexually active with unknown partners for 2–3 years but always used condoms. My last exposure was 6 weeks ago and was protected. I now have 5 bumps on my penis: 2 are similar with a small white center/dimple, 1 is a larger skin-colored bump, and 2 are small skin-colored bumps. #1 Private Dermatologist diagnosed molluscum contagiosum (MC) and advised cryotherapy. #2 Infectious Disease Specialist diagnosed HPV, said it was not MC. #3 Government Dermatologist initially said either HPV or MC, but after reviewing my reports (
HIV ELISA, TPHA, HBsAg & HCV negative at 43 days), felt it was MC. #4 Infectious Disease Specialist said both are possible and advised a skin biopsy (plus HPV genotyping if HPV is confirmed). I'm planning to marry and am very anxious. Is biopsy the best way to confirm? Is it painful? Can it spread the lesions? Based on the attached image, does this look more like HPV or MC or both or may be HSV too? Please help.
