Detailed Answer:
Hi and welcome.
By your description it sound slike HPV genital warts, however it may be molluscum or herpes. It would be easier if you attach photo of it. Also, antibiotics and local ointments wont help since these are not effective against viruses. Podofilin may help,but best therapy is criotherapy, electrosurgical ablation together with anitviral oral therapy. So you should see dermatologist for further evaluation. Wish you good health.
