Hi everyone,
I recently had a small lesion at the base of my penis. Doctor couldn't tell what it was, too small. But he sprayed it with liquid nitrogen anyways.
I'm now very worried that it was a genital wart. I did ask a question on 'ask the experts' and it was said that it didn't sound like genital warts.
The reason I'm so worried is that I have persistent plantar warts (four years). I've had various plantar warts sprayed with liquid nitrogen. But they still keep coming back. I recently had HIV and other STI test - negative.
I'm now sick to my stomach about the possible genital wart because I'm terrified that I've got some issue which makes it difficult for me to get rid of warts. I've read that warts typically clear in two years, but the plantars are much longer than that. I also have OCD and other mental health problems, and this whole situation is driving me crazy because I can't even get a test for warts.
Does anyone have any insight? Thanks.
