HPV on PALM of HANDS

I was recently diagnosed with genital HPV (even though shes not 100% sure) we are assuming that's what it is. I've never had any health issues in the past. A week after I was informed of this I noticed  a small (at first painful) bump on the palm of my hand, by my index finger. It is a small bump with a red center, now I have 4 of them. They are barely noticeable. If i run my nails over them, they feel as if they have a splinter inside of them. I'm so paranoid now, because my sister said they look like warts and HPV causes warts, and I don't know what to do. Any advice?

You need to see a doctor to get a diagnosis.

Where are your bumps? Genital warts appear on your genitals, not on your hands.
