Wart transmission from hand to penis

Wart transmission from hand to penis

I have had common warts on my hand for a little while now, and a little while ago I noticed one bump on the shaft of my penis and then it went away. So I was wondering if that means I have warts/HPV on penis now a.k.a. Gential (genital) warts?

Also if it DOESNT mean that I do and it's just common warts but I have sex can I transmit it, is it then consider gential (genital) warts and may it pose a risk to my partner??

How long did it take to go away?

Warts on your hands will not transmit to your genitals, as it is a completely different strain.

If the bump was a wart, then you would of got it through sex/sexual contact rather than from your hand, and it would be a genital wart strain, rather than a common wart strain.

I believe it went away under a week if not.

Then it wont be a genital wart, warts take longer to go away, usually a good few months. My guess is the bump was harmless - an ingrown hair or pimple for example
