      if its a wart they will just remove it try not to worry warts are not life long it could be something benign wait for your test results and take things from there

      I used a medicine and it's not there anymore but haven't been tested yet for HPV which I think it's what I have and I'm freaking out! Haven't slept for days...

      the strain of hpv that causes warts is low risk usually when a warts gone they dont grow back but can withink 6 months to a year in most cases your immune system gets rid of it within 2 years its not life long

      Yes that's one of my concerns the other one is that I know is contagious. I haven't been with anyone for more than 4 years and now I just met someone and I'm worried.
