      your partners may have had such small ones he/she hasn't noticed. also, you can carry hpv and not show symptoms.

      the virus can be cleared from the system within a couple years. but thats not a guarantee. the warts can be removed with various treatments. but there is no cure.

    These definitely look like warts. I would see a dermatologist. I have heard apple cider vinegar soaks can be very helpful. Hope you feel better!

      also it looks like you have been scratching them because some are bleeding, try not too it can help spread them if you itch and they bleed.
