hpv recurrence

hi everyone , i was diagnosed with hpv over 4 years ago, i had one initial outbreak of 1 which i had frozen off, and a second outbreak of 2-4 warts within a few weeks after the first also frozen off. Up until maybe 1-2 years ago i developed this spot of 3 little bumps you can only see if you look for it , they are way smaller than the original warts i had , also when i stretch and look at it they are white.
my question is i had a dermatologist look at it twice , the first time he said it was a sebacous gland or fordyce spot and i shouldnt be worried about hpv,, when i showed him more pics he changed his answer and said that there is a slim chance that it is hpv but hes still leaning towards the original diagnosis.
can the same wart really persist and stay there without getting bigger for almost 2 years?

Seems unlikely that it would have stayed for 2 years. The immune system most likely would have killed it off by then. But like i said it is possible.
