You can research this easily here in this site and Google. Hpv warts seem to be specific to the type of skin cells of your genitals, anus, inside of mouth sometimes, and not our normal skin. I don't have the time right now to research this myself to help you, and I admit I'm not a super expert on the difference between regular warts and genital warts, but I know you can educate yourself in just a short amount of time.

It says everywhere that flat warta om hands or feet is low risk and do not lead to cancer. Even the cdc says this? So I guess that's the real answer right?

Yes. Correct. You might also want to verify that hand warts and genital warts are different types that don't like to transfer between skin types. I'm not quite sure about these differences so you could research that, too.

So everywhere I look it says that these are not related in anyway to a cancer causing strain. Sorry I'm just full of anxiety and worry 24/7. I've read this many times. I have none anywhere in the genital area. So should I be stressing out as much as I am? I just want to fill understand this
