Can Small Wart Like Skin Tags In The Center Of The Penis Shaft Be Genital Warts?
hi
I have 2 very small wart like skin tags when i pull back my foreskin in the centre of my shaft. I got full tested for STD's at my local clinic, including an examination and blood test but they appeared afterward, I have only had unprotected sex with my current girlfriend and we both got tested before having unprotected sex and we were deemed clear. I do have warts on my hands and on my pubic area that were there when i went for the test but nothing was mentioned. My partner hasn't noticed/had any appear, is there any chance they're not genital warts?
