doctor's diagnoses

This happened 1 year ago. I went to see a sw and I used a condom. After 7 days(after the incident), there are some red dots appeared on my penis. I went to see the dermatology. The doctor told me that I have the genital warts, and he gave me a Electrocauterization on them. I checked online and i found out that the genital warts do not appear that soon. I didn't have any sex almost a year before this incident. My questions are:
1,do the genital warts appear in 7 days if i was infected.
2. did the doctor diagnose wrong?
3. Do i have anything else?
Now, there is still a scar on my penis, sometimes, I feel tiny pain on that part. Please help or should I go to see another dermatology? By the way, the doctor didn't do any test on me, just diagnosed by his eyes. Please help.

In answer to your third question "Do I have anything else?" ,this is why I suggested that your doctor would most likely do a full blood std panel.  If you were diagnosed with an STD, it is best to make sure that you do not have any others, if for nothing other than piece of mind.  Best of luck to you,

there are not any commercially available tests for hpv. no symptoms that can be biopsied and sent to the pathology lab, no way to know if this was hpv or not.  

A dermatologist was the best place to be seen.

If I were you, I would go to a urologist, not a dermatologist.  A urologist is more familiar with STD's due to their line of work.  They will have all the current information.  Hopefully the cautoriztion won't hinde the urologists findings, but I'm sure he will order a full blood work up.  Let us know how you are doing.

Good luck,

1. Probably not
2. I don't know I can't really question a Dr who examined you
3. Don't know

In males there is no real test for warts other then visual exam and sometimes a biopsy of the area. It might be in your best interest to see another Dr if you still have the bumps but it seems like you don't so it might be a waste of $ if you do with no symptoms.
