###Human: I have wart-like growth on my penis. Would it be contagious? ###Assistant: Hi. I have gone through your history and relevant pictures (attachment removed to protect patient identity) and I appreciate the same. As I can see that you do not have any signs of wart or contagious disease, please relax. The lesion you are having is just a dilated hair follicle or pore which is not dangerous. It is similar to a black head seen on the face, but a bigger one. It is commonly seen as a single lesion and forms a canal in the skin which contains skin debris that is frequently shed. Occasional pain or irritation is because of the debris hardening and poking to the stretched skin. There is no topical treatment for this as the creams cannot reach till root of the canal. The only effective way is to get it excised and sutured. It is a very simple and affording procedure with hardly any recurrences. Please go ahead with the surgery as it does cause irritation during erection and intercourse.
