Good day. A few days ago, I was told by a doctor that the bump on the upper part of my scrotum, which I have had for a year and a half, and had previously believed to be a benign skin tag, was in fact a genital wart. As mentioned, I have had this this for quite some time, and it is the only wart I have ever had. No other warts have developed. Now, I ve been dating the same girl for the majority of this time, and we have had unprotected sex, vagina,l oral and one brief bout of anal, many times. She does not show any signs of infection. As I said, the wart was on my scrotum, but it was close to the base of my penis. I ve read a million times that the types of HPV that cause genital warts do not tend to cause cancers, but the lack of certainty in that statement leaves me worried. Have there ever been any documented cases of someone having (a) genital wart(s), and causing cancer, either in themselves or in their partner(s)? I m terribly worried for my girlfriend s sake, and I m losing sleep over this. All I do is stress. She has an exam with her family doctor coming up, but that isn t until the middle of next month. I believe the sexual encounter that caused this breakout occurred in June of 2012 due to the fact that I had only had 2 sexual encounters prior to meeting my girlfriend. Is it strange that the wart is still on my body now? (I had it frozen with liquid nitrogen, so it is in the process of shrivelling up). Once the wart clears, are my girlfriend and I able to have sex again? Would protected vaginal sex be the only type of sex we could have or is oral still on the table? Thank you, Kevin.
