Question : Hello, I have this warts right beside my penis, about 9 different warts, i read some articles and i think it is genital warts, i honestly don't know where they came from because it's been really long since i had raw sexual intercourse, i started noticing it after i shaved with a cream substance named VEET, i thought they were just every normal bumps after shaving but it turned out to be warts, 9 different spots in same position, and few others like 4 in random places, I limited smoking and I started taking anti biotic drugs and some vitamin c but i don't know how to make it go away, please advice, how can i make it go away, there are no pains of such and no itching, its just there.

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.
