I have bumps on my penis, what should I do?

Hi, I'm 15 yrs old and I'm still a Virgin but I think I have genital warts. I was worried about some bumps on my penis so researched it a little and all the examples on Google look exactly the same as the bumps on my penis. Now I could go to a doctor but I really don't feel comfortable going to a doctor about this unless I have to so I want to make sure it's genital warts before I see a doctor. My question is, is it even possible for me to have genital warts if I'm still a Virgin and if I do have genital warts does it mean I could have something else aswell? Any advice is appreciated.

Genital warts is caused by the HPV virus which is sexually transmitted which means both vaginal sex or oral sex. I was diagnosed with HPV several years ago and got vaginal warts. After a couple of weeks the warts went away but I can still pass it to other partners. My boyfriend got it from me. He had a wart in his troat on the back of his tonsils. The good thing is that most people only have one outbreak in a lifetime.
In short, if youve had oral sex you could have HPV or any other sexuall diesese. My doctor told me about 75% of people have HPV and only about 33% of them know it. I am 45 years old. He said I could have had it since I was a teenager and only developed symtoms recently. Which means, I could have gave it to anybody I had sex  (vaginal or oral) with over the span of the last 30 years. Scarey huh? You should go get tested. HPV can cause cancer.
