How fast do Genital warts grow?

went to doctor to have my penile check (last penetration activity was 2 yrs ago, last oral activity one month ago) since I saw a bit of bump. Doctor told me the bump I pointed out was not a wart and she saw some weird bumps aside from I pointed out, she's suspecting a wart but since it is small she can't tell 100% . I was planning to investigate a month if it will grew bigger. question is, is a month enough to notice if it grew bigger? and could it help her determine if its warts or not within a month? I did ask her for skin biopsy, but she doesn't recommend it if its the penile shaft itself since it is painful.

This depends a lot on the person, your immune system, etc. Don't do anything to them if you want them to grow, and just let them be. A month should result in some growth - how much depends on the person.

They could be oil glands, or irritation, or a host of other things, but whatever they are, a month should be enough time.
