Confidence in Diagnosis??

[Apprehensive]

I had approximately five or six very small spots on my penis on shaft for about three weeks. They were very small and didn't grow any bigger. I was freaking out and went to my local health clinic at Planned Parenthood. The practicioner there said it wasn't genital warts due to appearance of bumps. She said most likely Molluscum .  She said they would resolve on there own or she could put some stuff on them, acid, I believe.  Which i said yes because I didn't want the spots there. They are gone now. Can I be pretty confident that the diagnosis is right? I know these practiciners have seen alot more skin spots, herpes, warts and molluscum than me?  She said you usually can not depress center of wart like you could my spots. They were not rough or anything???? They were very small and skin tone and smooth. It has been one week since I went to clinic???

Obviously, I can't say for sure, but the diagnosis sounds reasonable.  At a clinic like that they certainly would know what STD's look like.

Take care.
