Possible Wart Follow Up

Dr.
I hope all is well and again thank you for your help. On the 26th of February I posted a question regarding and entitled "Possible Wart."
After I went to the doctor for my follow-up, it looked like all was well and he said it definitely wasn't wart and that all looked good. Thankfully, I agreed and assumed it was a blocked pore as you said in your response to my February 26, 2008 posting that I also picked at. Yesterday, I noticed something very similar as before - slightly raised, flesh colored and I gently touched and picked at it. It came off rather easily. It bled for a little than it looks the same as before. It felt kind of like a pimple. Red and irritated slightly raised. Zero discomfort. It is generally in the same area, pretty close to the same spot. I was wondering how concerned I should be it is a wart or if in fact it is the same problem as before just a clogged pore. I do not want to go and keep going to the doctor if it is unnecessary. Thanks for your help doc and if look forward to your response.
I have posted my original message below this. I look forward to your info.

Yes, perhaps you are right and it should just be left alone. Perhaps, I am causing the problem. I have something similar on the penis skin just below the penis head on the shaft. I of course picked at it and irritated it. I was worried that was also a wart but I guess not and I am a large part of the problem. What do you think doc?
