I went to a doctor about 5 months ago, and they said it didn't look like a sexual wart. They tested me for all STI's minus HPV. All came back negative

Really concerned. I tried to freeze them off with dr. scholl's wart remover which may have been a bad idea in the long run. I appreciate any opinon's.. thanks!

You'll probably need to use a PC or laptop to add images, rather than a phone or tablet.
If a doctor has said it doesn't look like a genital wart, then it probably isn't though, and using non-genital wart removal products isn't a good idea.
If you want a second opinion, you could either see another GP, or if you're in the UK, you could go to a genitourinary medicine (GUM) clinic - google "GUM clinic near me" for details.
If you could update this thread and tell us what the doctors say, it would be appreciated. Good luck.

Thanks for the reply, here is a photo of the warts. I'm in the U.S. The doctor said it didn't look like it, but now it's looking quite like it to me.

Those don't look like warts to me either. Maybe some kind of boil?? If you hadn't already had it for five months, then I'd have said it will probably fix itself in maybe a week or a month. Since you've had it so long though, then I'd go back to the doctor if I were you, or possibly a dermatologist. If you see the same doctor, then they'll probably be surprised it's still there. I'm not sure what kind of treatment they might recommend though.
I'd be interested to hear what they say, so please keep us updated.

That's good to hear! Yes I've had one before on my scrotum that went away after more than a year. I'll visit the dermatologist and let you know what they say. Thanks again!
