HPV help! Very confused!

Hello.. I am a young male whos had several female partners in my life so far. But id say around 6-7 months ago i spotted this little circular dry spot on my penis base.. its not fleshy nor elevated like a wart. it does not flake up neither.. but i do know that there are some warts that look different and i do know that my last partner had hpv when she had gotten her pap smear. Its lighter in color than the rest of my penis and just tends to look like a dry small spot. It does not feel funny nor sensitive  when i touch it... but something tells me that this has to be a part of the hpv. It seems to get larger in size.. then smaller in size too. Also the skin on my penis tends to be a little dryer than usual. Still no pain. But the lighter mark remains there. Often at times it has a slight red tint to it.. Ive been just waiting to see if it hopefully goes away... but it hasnt. What do you think this is?  warts? or could there be just dry skin? Your help is greatly appreciated!

if you were exposed to HPV then you may have gotten it from this partner.  the warts will not go away until months later.  if it does go away sooner than 3 months then i doubt it was genital warts.
only way to find out is to get it checked.

if ur partner had HPV on her cervix u would harbor virus in ur body that would not manifest itself in warts.HPV warts are a different strain of the virus and they are fleshy cauliflower like growths.These do not sound like it but  in order to ease ur mind u need to go to the docs and get this checked out...it could just be a dermatological problem but please get this checked out to b sure!and try to refrain from picking at it or irritating it!:)
