Your chance from contracting HPV from a condom break would be low, but it is certainly possible. You need to see a dermatologist, who can distinguish whether your 'bumps' are truly warts or normal skin structures. And if you do turn out to have warts, it doesn't necessarily mean you caught if from your condom break.

80% of sexually active people get HPV. It is nothing to worry about and eventually the immune system takes care of the infection.
