Did I accidentally cause my doc to falsely say that I dont have genital warts?

So a few months ago I went to the doctor after receiving my only sexual experience of oral sex. That time she said it was nothing and I moved on. One or two weeks ago I noticed a development of pale slightly raised bumps on my foreskin (the remainder of it because I am cut) which I thought were genital warts and just today I went in and got them checked. My doctor said it was nothing after looking at the bumps and after i described if it was itching or not. I said ( I think) that it didn't really and if it did it was on again off again and wasn't just the bumps and that I think its becuase of my pubic hair, I also described a friction like feeling on them and thats the most its ever truly gotten. She also asked if it hurt which is why I am asking this question because I don't think I told the whole story I think I said small pins and needles feelings but I don't know. She looked and said it was nothing and then called another doctor in who has been in this for 20+ (I think 30) years who also said it was nothing after looking. My doctor afterwards said a few things among them was "your symptoms do not seem like genital warts" after hearing that when I got home I thought about those words and after thinking about it my paranoia returned and i feel a strange stretchy feeling at the bumps that is like... itchy? and sorta very slightly painful? I can not describe it properly but that is the best way I can think of is the "strecthy itchy thing" wording. Could my bad description have led to a false diagonsis by the two doctors and is the weird itchy/stretchy feeling just paranoia and I am looking to far into this and the paranoia is causing phantom symptoms?
