Question 1

been loosing a lot of pubic hair i have genital warts should i get checked for anything more serious ?

Accepted Answer

Fungus: Hair loss that us in a specific area and not full body is likely a fungal infection.

Question 2

i have lots of redness in pubic hair area. seems to be near or on hair follicles. im wandering if its folliculitis or warts?

Accepted Answer

Not warts: Almost certainly folliculitis. Warts don't cause redness, are not common in the pubic area, and do not appear in association with hair follicles.

Question 3

is it possible for a pubic hair to grow through a genital wart?

Accepted Answer

Not likely: If you have pubic hair growing through a bump, it is likely a clogged hair follicle. See your clinician to help determine appropriate diagnosis and treatment.  Take care!

Question 4

i have hpv and i wanted to know if genital warts can appear on the pubic hair?

Accepted Answer

No : They appear on skin or mucous membranes. But the nits of pubic lice (crabs) do appear on pubic hair. If you are suspicious you have lice see your doctor.

Question 5

Accepted Answer

: As stated in response to your earlier question, it would be prudent to get a second opinion.

Question 6

6-8 of the hair follicles on the base of my penis in the pubic hair region have raised a bit and turned darkish-gray or black? genital warts?

Accepted Answer

Possible cysts: Hard to say without more history and seeing photos of these lesions, but they could be due to clogged hair follicles - black color could be due to oxidation or old blood.  I cannot rule out possibility that these are genital warts or something else.  Go see your clinician asap for an exam, tests if needed, and appropriate management.  Take Care.

Question 7

i am not sure whether or not to think that i have the genital warts strain of hpv. i shave my pubic hair and get ingrown hairs. should i be concerned?

Accepted Answer

No: Pubic ingrown hairs and genital warts are two separate and unrelated problems. Ingrown hairs will have red bumps often with a whitehead just adjacent to the hair follicle. Genital warts would be larger than a hair follicle and often have a cauliflower like surface. To prevent ingrown hairs, shave with the grain of the hairs. To get rid of  warts, you'll need to see your dermatologist or obgyn.

Question 8

i have a tiny soft skin "growth" on my labia majora close to the fold that connects to my inner thigh, the bump has a pubic hair growing through it (not exactly the center) can it be a genital wart?

Accepted Answer

More than likely not: the hair is probably ingrown. A wart would be more fleshy and would get bigger over time. You can always have it looked at. I would be more concerned if it increased in size.

Question 9

do hpv live on pubic hair?i have hpv genital warts and high risk.my mother touched my pubic skin w/ hair while touching around my pelvic after i complained about my pelvic pain to her. can my hpv virus got into her finger and can infect her some way?

Accepted Answer

Unlikely with: this contact,  but wearing gloves, and using condoms can decrease risk of spread.

Question 10

do hair boils in pubic area get mistaken for gential warts?

Accepted Answer

Not likely: The appearance of warts and boils are distinctly different. An expert in skin diseases should have trouble distinquishing the two conditions. Genital warts look like warts would and boils are inflammed tender bumps.
