I know you said its not acne but here are the uncommonly known forums of acne: Papules - inflamed lesions that appear as small, pink bumps on the skin Pustules (pimples) - inflamed pus-filled lesions that are red at the base Cysts and nodules - large, inflamed, pus-filled lesions that are lodged deep and can drain, causing pain and scarring An allergic reaction - may cause bumps Common warts - Usually found on fingers, hands, knees, and elbows, a common wart is a small, hard bump that's dome-shaped and usually grayish-brown. It has a rough surface that may look like the head of a cauliflower, with black dots inside. Flat warts, also called juvenile warts - These are about the size of a pinhead, are smoother than other kinds of warts, and have flat tops. Flat warts may be pink, light brown, or yellow. Most kids who get flat warts have them on their faces, but they can also grow on arms, knees, or hands and can appear in clusters.

Warts?
DefinitionWarts are small, usually painless growths on the skin caused by a virus called human papillomavirus (HPV). They are generally harmless. However, warts can be disfiguring and embarrassing, and occasionally they itch or hurt (particularly on the feet).The different types of warts include:Common warts usually appear on the hands, but can appear anywhere.Flat warts are generally found on the face and forehead. They are common in children, less common in teens, and rare in adults.Genital warts(condyloma) are usually found on the genitals, in the pubic area, and in the area between the thighs, but they can also appear inside the vagina and anal canal. (See: Genital warts for more information)Plantar warts are found on the soles of the feet.Subungual and periungual warts appear under and around the fingernails or toenails.Alternative NamesPlane juvenile warts; Periungual warts; Subungual warts; Plantar warts; Verruca; Verrucae planae juveniles; Filiform warts; Verruca vulgarisCauses, incidence, and risk factorsThe typical wart is a raised round or oval growth on the skin with a rough surface. Compared with the surrounding normal skin, warts may appear light, dark, or black (rare). Most adults are familiar with the look of a typical wart and have little trouble recognizing it. Unusual warts with smooth surfaces or flat warts in children may be more difficult for parents to recognize.Common warts tend to cause no discomfort unless they are in areas of repeated friction or pressure. Plantar warts, for example, can become extremely painful. Large numbers of plantar warts on the foot may cause difficulty walking or running.Some warts will disappear without treatment, although it can sometimes take a couple of years. Treated or not, warts that go away often reappear. All warts can spread from one part of your own body to another.Unsightly or painful warts can be treated. Warts around and under your nails are much more difficult to cure than warts in other places.SymptomsAbnormally dark or light skin surrounding the lesionNumerous small, smooth, flat (pinhead sized) lesions on forehead, cheeks, arms, or legsRough growths around or under fingernails or toenailsRough, round, or oval lesions on soles of feet -- flat to slightly raised -- painful to pressureSmall, hard, flat or raised skin lesion or lumpSigns and testsWarts can generally be diagnosed simply by their location and appearance. Your doctor may want to cut into a wart (called a biopsy) to confirm that it is not a corn, callus, skin cancer, or other similar-appearing growth.TreatmentOver-the-counter medications can remove warts. These are applied to the wart every day for several weeks. DO NOT use these medications on your face or genitals. It helps to file the wart down when damp (for example, after a bath or shower) before applying these medications. DO NOT treat warts on your face or genitals yourself. See your health care provider.Pain and pressure from plantar warts can be treated with special cushions that are available at drug stores.Your health care provider may use stronger (prescription) medications, such as podophylin or salicylic acid, for removal of persistent warts. Surgical removal or removal by freezing (cryotherapy), burning (electrocautery), or laser treatment may be needed.Immunotherapy, done by injecting a substance that causes an allergic reaction, may also be considered by your health care provider. A topical medication called imiquimod may also be used.A vaccine called Gardasil prevents infection against the strains of viruses that often cause genital warts and cervical cancer in women.DO NOT attempt to remove a wart yourself by burning, cutting, tearing, picking, or any other method.Expectations (prognosis)Warts are generally harmless growths that often go away on their own within 2 years. They can be contagious, but transmission from person to person is uncommon. Warts may be unsightly or cause discomfort, especially on the feet.ComplicationsSpread of wartsReturn of warts that disappearedMinor scar formation if the wart is removedFormation of keloids after removalCalling your health care providerCall for an appointment with your doctor if:There are signs of infection (red streaking, pus, discharge, or fever) or bleeding. Warts can bleed a little, but if bleeding is significant or not easily stopped by light pressure, see a doctor.The wart does not respond to self-care and you want it removed.You have pain associated with the wart.You have anal or genital warts.You have diabetes or a weakened immune system (for example, HIV) and have developed warts.There is any change in the color or appearance of the wart.PreventionAvoid direct skin contact with a wart on someone else.After filing your wart, wash the file carefully since you can spread the virus to other parts of your body.After touching any of your warts, wash your hands carefully.ReferencesWarts, herpes simplex, and other viral infections.

Male Genital Warts?
Genital warts are caused by certain strains of human papillomavirus, or HPV. This common sexually-transmitted disease is transmitted through skin-to-skin contact, although not all strains of HPV cause symptoms, let alone genital warts. While HPV is a well-known risk factor for cervical cancer in women, there are risks to men's health, too. In addition, the symptoms and treatments for male genital warts sufferers differ from those of females.Symptoms of genital warts in malesGenital warts appear as small growths in the genital area, including the penis, scrotum, anus and thighs. These growths can vary in size and often appear in cauliflower-like clusters. Because many warts are flat, some doctors utilize vinegar or acetic acid to identify them -- warts turn white when the vinegar is applied. It is important to remember that the absence of genital warts does not mean HPV infection is not present, however.Men who suspect they have genital warts or any other sexually-transmitted illness should visit their doctors for a thorough examination and diagnosis. Treating male genital wartsGenital warts treatment can involve several measures, including surgical removal, application of topical prescription creams and freezing or burning the warts. Removal is not the only means by which warts go away, however -- the immune system eventually clears the virus from the body, but the duration and intensity of wart growth is unpredictable.Risk factors for malesThe strains of HPV that cause genital warts differ from those that cause cancer. While the warts themselves are not pleasant, they are not inherently dangerous. However, the open sores caused by warts can bleed when irritated, which raises the risk of HIV transmission. Additionally, men who participate in high-risk sexual behaviors, such as unprotected sex with multiple partners, may carry multiple strains of HPV, including those that do cause penile and anal cancers.While genital warts are often uncomfortable, they usually pose no danger. Men can reduce the risk of contracting or spreading HPV and other STDs by using condoms with each and every sexual partner. If genital warts do appear, men should visit their doctors to rule out more serious ailments and to take advantage of the wide range of treatments available to relieve discomfort.
