Herpes, molluscum, hpv?

A month ago I had a couple of bumps show up in my pubic region. There were two seperate ones on the left side of my pubic area down towards my testicles. There were two on the base of the shaft on the left, one bottom right of the shaft. And then there was a single one right side of pubic area down near testicles. They were all raised, 3 of them looked identical to skin tags, the others looked like waxy flesh colored bumps smooth and pearly like. I went to ER where they told me they couldn't even see anything. After that I went to urgent care he told me he thought it was molluscum contagiosum which definitely seemed pliable considering I was thinking it was either that or hpv. He told me that hpv is not smooth like the growths I had however. So he perscribed me podofilox and told me to follow up with urologist. The podofilox was applied for the first week and took away all of them except for one of the two at the base of the shaft on left. However, the one that remained flattened out and you can still see it if you hold a light directly on it. It almost looks like a bubble now, doesn't appear fluid filled but it could be. It no longer looks like mollusca but more or less looks like a blister which is beyond me because it's the same growth just completely changed appearance. Then where the two were on the left pubic region they both fell off, but about 2 weeks in another one of the bubble like growths started to form. The urologist said they are too small to determine what they could be. None of the doctors have even suggested that it could be hsv, and the fact that it is now a month and they still remain I'm unsure of if that is likely to be hsv. I understand the original ones looked like mollusca, however I haven't heard of any growths that could be similar in appearance to a bubble or blister that is not hsv. Any ideas on what these could be. I do have pictures available.
