Bumps on the penis

Q: I have about ten bumps that are skin colored at the base of my penis and i was
wanting to know if they are hpv?
A: Hpv stands for 'human papilloma virus' which is a virus. There are many different strains of the virus, some of which cause genital warts and others that cause cervical cancer. It is not known if hpv can cause penile cancer in men. Anyway, it is possible to have warts, herpes(the bumps or ulcers will burn with herpes) or irritation that may look like bumps on the penis.
