Possible wart question

Hello,

So back in June I had my penis checked by a primary care doctor because I was worried that I might have contracted a STD from a risky condom protected encounter I had with an escort in late April. He noticed this raised bumpy skin on on the shaft on my circumcision scar that he labeled part of the circumcision scar. I remain unsure. Thankfully I tested negative for everything 3 months after the encounter. But I am still worried that this raised skin could be genital warts.

My last sexual encounter before this was in June 2013 where I had unprotected sex with a woman. I thought she was generally safe because she only had one sex partner before me and that was her ex husband. But even tough she is divorced she had a few one night stands with her ex a few months before me. So I don't know.  

So my question if these are indeed warts, would you think it would have been contracted from the escort or from the woman I had relations with a year ago? It could be since I heard that genital warts can take years to appear.

What do you guys think?

Thanks.

Condoms do not cover the base of the penis or any other parts of your genital skin besides the upper part of a penis. Genital warts can appear on any genital skin (buttocks, scrotum, penis, pubic area, thighs) and even in places covered by condoms. There is no requirement that only uncovered genital skin can be infected. Go see a dermatologist or a urologist for a second opinion.

See well here's the thing, I don't know if they are warts or not. I only have a suspicion that they are. They are are around 1-2 mm and in a single line on top of the circumcision scar. They really don't have a defined shape. When flaccid the skin really wrinkles and bunches in that area but if I stretch it out I can see around four slightly protruding  growths.

My doctor who looked at them in June told me he thinks they are scar tissue from the circumcision. Sometimes I notice this area itching or feeling irritated from time to time so this makes me think it could be small warts.

During the encounter with the escort I was wearing a condom so as far as remember that part of my penis never made contact with her so if these are warts I am confused on how I would get warts there.

Perhaps I am just being a hypochondriac about the whole thing but maybe I should get a second opinion. What do you think?

The odds are always better that it is a recent encounter. Most warts appear after 4-6 months. I don't see the point of your question. All you can get are percentage odds and it doesn't change your health. Get it removed and biopsied to be sure or get some medical creams from your doctor and get it gone. The sooner it is gone, the sooner you can resume sex.
