Hand warts to genitals?

hey guys
so recently i had noticed a little raise on penis after sex and i had never seen it before
so i figured i should go get an std test and everything came back negative. so i figured it might be a wart, so i got him to check after he burnt the other warts on my arm and hand, and he said it might be but he was only 70% sure but either way if he burns it it will dissapear, and he also said that i could have transmitted it from my body to myself, so does that mean i have genital warts or not? because he said it was so small that it was hard to tell, there was also two spots he froze that looked similar. does this mean i will be infected for life ? and possibly transmit to others ?

like I said, at this point no real way to tell what they were. It would've been more appropriate to have removed them and sent them to the lab to find out what they were than to have burnt them off.

no, you did not transmit the warts from your hands to your penis.

thanks for the reply grace, so does that mean that i didnt contract them through my hands like he said ? im confused as to wether this means i have hpv or not ? or just some form of warts the infected my penis ? if infact they were.

there are over 130 different types of hpv. Of those, only about 30 infect the genitala area. the types that cause us to have warts on our hands and feet, don't infect our genital area.

since you've already had your genital symptoms frozen, no easy way to tell what they were now. should they reoccur, see a dermatologist for a 2nd opinion before any further treatment.
