HI Dr. again thank you very much for your advices!!. Just one more question the little wart or piece of skin change color and it came out alone, I didnt get any damage in my skin or scar in my scrotum, no blood or something secreted. I have the piece of skin, do u think i have to worry to analyze the skin??

Even without sex, you could have gotten a wart from contact of your scrotum with an infected partner.  Thus, it is possible.  At the same time, I find it a little unlikely, particularly if you have truly had no exposure.  The scrotum is an unusual place for a wart and they typically go away without treatment in less than a year.  There are a number of dermatological conditions which can be mistaken for warts.  My advice would be to see a dermatologist.  He/she can provide you with a diagnosis and, if it is a wart, could likely easily help you get rid of it.  Please let us know what they say.  Hope this helps.  EWH
