Advice for next step

First of all, thank you for your previous advice to my posts. You're doing an excellent job.

I recently saw my dermatologist regarding a few bumps on the right side of the shaft of my penis. It was the 3rd time I saw her and she said she didn't think they were warts. She diagnosed them as clogged hair folicles (sweat gland inclusions).
What I need advice on is the next step. I made an appointment in about 2 weeks to have the bumps removed. She treated one of them with some last time with some liquid nitrogen, but didn't bother with the others because they're so small.
They're hardly noticeable. Anatomically, when I bunch the skin together, they're easier to see. When I stretch the skin, they're harder to see. I have about 4 of them and they haven't changed or gotten any bigger.
My big concern is possibly transmitting HPV in the future. I don't think I would be able to live with myself.
I saw 6 doctors regarding this. Here is the breakdown:

4 - Not warts. Nothing to worry about. 1 is my current  dermatologist, whom I've seen 3 times.
1 - didn't know
2 - Thought 1 of them was a wart. The others were too small to tell. 1 was a dermatologist.

I heard that 90% of these clear up on their own IF it is HPV. Do I have anything to worry about? I am starting a new dating relationship and would like to put this behind me. I'm obsessing too much and I check every day. Thanks for your help.

They don't sound like warts.  All these doctors told you they weren't warts.  What other reassurance would you need?

These sound like cysts.  Liquid nitrogen will not remove them.  They could, I suppose, be burned off, but I don't recommend that--it would likely scar, and you'd just get new ones.

Cysts of the penis are normal anatomy.  I think it's time to accept that and move on.

Take care.
