Short term warts??

So I have this recurring wart-like dot on the circumcision line on my penis that I really wanna know what it is. It's about 1mm and is red color with a small, light colored, oblong, slightly raised center. The weird thing about it is that it will become kinda inflamed and noticeable for a few days to a week, then seemingly disappear. Then, about a month to 4 months later, it'll reappear again for a few days. It's always the exact same shape and size. It's been happening like this for about two years now and I've had a full bloodwork STD test in the meantime which showed I don't have herpes. I've had a doctor look at it while it wasn't inflamed and they said the couldn't see anything and just get the bloodwork done (which I did and it didn't help), but I seem to never be able to catch a doctor while it is an issue (especially since I've been living in a non-english speaking country lately)

I just wanna know what the heck this thing is... best guess is a wart, but I've never heard of a wart looking/acting like this. Anyone got any ideas what it could be and how to deal with it?

mm.... it seem like i also having the same problem. I did a biopsy and confirm is HPV and not herpes. The little dot mostly around the foreskin and will not feel itchy at all. My doc also need to use a magnifying glass to view it.

Warts tend to be constant - not come and go as you've described.  You can't diagnose hpv from a blood test either.

This sounds like it's nothing to be worried about.  Might even be a little bit of scar tissue that depending on what's going on actionwise in the genital area ( even if it's with your hand ) might be aggravating or something. The best thing at this point is to go be seen when it's fully visible.
