genital warts or mole or skin tag

Hi i am a 16 year old male who has never had sex or oral sex, but has open mouth kissed. I have had two little skin toned free-moving bumps in the top of my pubic hair. I am extremely worried, as i have OCD. I am scared for my life that it is a genital wart. My father, who went to med school and is now a cardiologist has said that they were moles right next to each other. I don't see why they would be genital warts as i have not had sex or oral sex. please help me as soon as possible, I'm am scared for my life. Thank you and please try to hurry.

Well my father is just convinced it is nothing and wants to hear nothing about it. I realize i should not be worrying about this, and that i should just move on. Next time i go in for a check up i will get it looked at even though it is probably nothing. I hope i will be able to forget about it for the rest of this week and life. Thank you for the help and have a great day.

Well i saw my fair share of doctors, about 5 different dermatologists and a million regualr GPS and std specialists. I realized it was getting crazy when my normal dermatologist, the one if been with for years, told me if i dont seek professional help im putting myself in a bad position. He also refused to see me again if i continued on that path. He was absolutely right. I didnt listen to him which led me to a full year of constant observation and stress. After all that i havent had one diagnosed wart, every single little bump i thought ive noticed turned out to be nothing.
Take care

Thank you so much, just wondering, but how did you stop obsessing over it. It's just scary.

I agree with the above comment. I have been down this road and it is not pleasant trust me. You will start obsessing over every little thing you see. Warts are very evident you will notice them. Btw moles are very common all over the body so dont worry about it.

No, you can't get genital warts from masturbating with dirty hands. But, if your concerned about it, why not simply wash your hands before? I fear you may have begun obsessing over irrational fears. It would probably be a wise decision to seek out a qualified mental health professional before it gets out of hand.

By the way, i was wondering if you could get genital if you masturbated and your hand was dirty. As in dirty i mean like it had dirt on it or you had dirt under your finger nails. I know it is a weird question, but i am just extremely concerned. Thanks again

the only sexual contact i have had is kissing and fingering a girl. for the longest time, i remember having this bump. Is it possible it is just a mole or a skin tag. The only time i do not remember having it was before i hit puberty.

relax man! there is no reason to even consider genital warts as a possibility because you have never had sex before. The only way of contracting genital warts is through skin to skin contact which you have had none of. Also you've shown your dad who is a doctor and his opinion was also that it is nothing. If you are still really worried after reading this then i would suggest asking your dad to make you an appointment with a dermatologist, skin doctor, so he/she can put your mind at rest. The doctor may even be able to take them off if you truly don't like them.  
take is easy, seriously though you have nothing to be worried about.
