Go to this web site http://www.condyloma.org/pictures.htm snd compare the pictures to your situation. Perhaps you have condyloma (genital warts) This can be easily treated if you seek medical treatment from a urologist or dermatologist early on. I would start by reading the info and then getting back to me with questions. There are creams/ointments that can be used and often these warts are removed my laser.

Well i looked at those pictures mine is not that severe, but in researching i found similar pics, just got back from seeing the doctor he said thats what it looks like but referred me to urology, not appt available for 2 weeks, really worried is a visual diagnoses good enough?

Yes, a visual is all it takes for the urologist identify warts. Don't worry-- they can be treated. If you are secually active, the only cause for concern would be to notify your partner as these genital warts are often contagious. Always remember to practice safe sex. Additionally, what is important is to always wash your self after secual relations as this is helpful in reducing the chances of contracting these warts. The urologist will go over all this with you during the appointment. Two weeks is ok to wait.
