Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this troubling thought going through your mind. The diagnosis of warts is made from a history of sexual exposure and examination of the lesions that you have reported. A picture image would be guiding a enough to make that diagnosis.

Unfortunately, your image didn't attach correctly. Should you be having difficulties, please talk to the customer care service for help so that the image can get to us.

I will be right here waiting to give you an answer as soon as the image gets here.

Talk to you soon!
