I permanently damaged my penis.. will I always be alone?

Several years ago I noticed I had genital warts. I read online that apple cider vinegar would make them go away, so I began using it. It seemed to be working but it hurt like hell. I should have known that the pain was a sign to stop, but I really wanted the warts to be gone so I kept using it. After a while it seemed like it wasn't working anymore, so I stopped and went to a doctor. He removed what was left of my warts with cryotherapy (freezing them with liquid nitogen), but the damage I did with the acv was permanent. It looks really horrible.. it ruptured blood vessels so there are veins showing that shouldn't be and the whole thing looks really red when erect. Not only that but the warts came back. I try not to let it get me down too much and I am using treatment in a much safer way now, but I can't help but think that no girl is going to be ok with this.. I really want to be in a fulfilling relationship.. I don't even really care about sex that much, I just don't want to be alone forever..

I know there is no way of knowing what the future will bring.. I just want some input. Do you think there are good girls out there that could live with a problem like this or should I expect to be alone until I die? I am so tired of getting dumped, sometimes I wonder if I should just try to forget about love.. please let me know what you think..

There is no way to tell what the future holds, that is true. But you only have one life to live and being down in the dumps and worried all the time is no way to live.  Yes, there is a girl out there for you so keep trying till you find her.  If you get dumped here or there, it's their loss, not yours.  

Keep the faith...I know it can be hard.

You are not alone. I have warts myself and i know the feeling, but what's done is done and you shouldn't dwell over it anymore. Who ever loves you, will have to accept you just the way you are and if not, they are not worth it. Feelings are more important than sex. Praying n having faith always works for me, but i don't know if you are religious. Good luck to you! Stay positive!

See a urologist. If no help, then see a dermatologist. If still no help, contact a plastic surgeon.
