warts 4 years later
Treated for warts on shaft 4 years ago which went away, but now have something on scrotum. Can warts reoccur 4 years later on scrotum when originally on shaft?
Hey, Unfortunately they are right. Even if you have the visible warts removed and then have no further outbreaks for years, the virus will always lie dormant in your cells. As of yet there is no way to completely clear the virus. Which sucks! You may be lucky and never have another outbreak though!

Hello,
Yes warts can come back. Scientists now think that the HPV infection that clears up on its own remains dormant in your body. It can stay dormant or it can come back again. Why it comes back isn't exactly known. It can come back at the same place or some different place close to the original place of wart breakout.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.

Yes. They can return anywhere in the genital area (thigh, scrotom, shaft, butt, etc).
