Brief Answer:
Regarding lesion on scrotum
Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Not all warts in the genital area are always sexually transmitted. This could also be a common wart i.e verruca vulgaris which may have been inocculated by hands.
Another possibility for this raised lesion is that it is a small sebaceous cyst.

It is a wart. For treatment I would suggest Electrocautery fulguration. That would be curative.

So Doctor are you sure it is not a STD wart?For piece of mind,how come are you sure it is not because of STD?can I continue having sex with my girlfriend?
Brief Answer:
Get the wart treated
Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Its a wart. A sebaceous cyst is usually yellowish in color whereas a wart is skin colored. The surface of wart is rough.
Genital warts are most commonly transmitted sexually but not all genital warts are sexually acquired. Sometimes a wart in genital area may have been innoculated by hands (non sexual route). This is the likely reason in those whose history is not suggestive of sexual transmission e.g a single sexual partner in which both partners have sex only within themselves.
You must nevertheless get this wart removed since you can pass on the infection to your sexual partner. Till then avoid sex with your partner.
Regards

Brief Answer:
Regarding genital wart
Detailed Answer:
Hi.
A wart if not completely removed will recur. This recurrence may happen anytime soon or may be delayed for sometime depending on the immunity. Most of the time body's own immunity takes care of the wart and it may not recur again. Most genital HPV infections are ultimately taken care of by body's own immunity.
A very small percentage of genital wart particularly infection by HPV type 16, 18 may transform into cancer.
The oil like fluid that came out by squeezing may have been tissue fluid.
