GW Question

I am hoping you can help me.  My questions is about spots on my penis I had removed by a dermatologist a few years ago. The dermatologist diagnosed them as a genital warts. He removed them without a biopsy. I am having trouble believing his diagnosis. They did not look like typical genital warts. They were flat and barely above the skin (you'd have to stare at it to even tell it was above the skin). They were dark brown, smooth to the touch and somewhat shiny. They also looked "cracked" every so slightly. Basically they looked like a dark brown scar. I would like to know if these could have been something other than genital warts.  I had picked at these spots with a safety pin a while before this happened (I think they were Fordyce spots) and I was using a tanning bed at the time.  Could these areas have become hyperpigmented from that and could that hyperpigmentation have lasted roughly nine years?
