Hello sorry to be Dr.Handsfield. I am now noticing a single growth on my scrotum. Feels like a skin tag. But I am very scared that this is a wart. Could it be given my past experience of a condom protected handjob, performed on me July 21 2023. I am so scared I have ruined my marriage

How sad that you continue to focus on possible non-existent consequences of receipt of masturbation over two years ago. You have self identified the lesion as a skin tag which is certainly not unusual for a man of your age. Dr. Handsfield told you that the encounter that you apparently feel so guilty about did not put you at risk for any STI, including HPV. I agree completely and have no other advice for you other than to see a dermatologist, explain your ( unwarranted) fears and have it taken care of. In addition, I strongly advise you to seek confidential professional counseling to help you address your guilt. EWH---

Sorry. I guess fear is getting the better of me. I feel it but can't see it. So I scared this maybe a wart. But no possiblity it could be from the encounter I described? It was my only encounter outside of marriage

You do not know what the lesion you describe is. Whatever it is, it is unrelated to the encounter you describe. No change in my assessment.
One follow up remaining. Further this will need to be the last. Any further questions related to your no risk encounter may not receive a reply but may be deleted without a response and without return of your posting fee. This would be done out of compassion. There is simply no need to continue these concerns. EWH

Ok thank you. Just move on? Nothing to see here? Just Deal with my guilt and my inability to seemingly not forgive myself?

Precisely. I am not a mental health specialist but it appears that you cannot do this (move on) by yourself. Once again, I urge you to seek professional counseling. This can be done confidentially. You will be rewarded with inner please that you clearly do not have at this time.
This thread is now closed. EWH
