Very weird situation. Im 35 only been with 4 women in my life.  I recently just met someone we both agreed to get tested i went to a std clinic and she thought i had hpv on my scrotum i of course freaked out went to my GP he said no i then went to my dermo who i have gone for years he said no  and biopsied those 2 spots both came back as epidermoyltic acanthoma rare skin infection related to sun damage and tanning beds which makes sense because ive been tanning for 16 years. I then went to a 2nd dermatologist just to be safe and i saw another spot i wanted looked at it was extremely small and looked like a skin tag. She biopsied it and said it was a wart.I of course freaked out I went back to my 1st dermatologist who ive going to for years he looked at the spot we biopsied another spot near there that looked exactly what i had taken off it came back as irritated benign keratosis. I requested the pathology report from the 2nd dermo be transferred to my dermatologist and the slide and we are awaiting results.My 1st dermatologist might think ive been misdiagnosed. Is that possible? Ive also heard that if u do have genital warts that most hpv CLEARS up withing 2 years. Does that mean its gone wont come back and i cant transmit to anyone?? Im really scared and have lost sleep and weight over this. 

Welcome to the forum. Thanks for your question.---

Hey Dr handsfield sorry for the late response I'm actually very concerned about the herpes virus now and I'm still waiting for results from the biopsy I had. The doctors are doing molecular testing to it because the spot on my scrotum came back as verruca vulgaris which is a common wart both pathologists came to the same diagnosis my question I told my dermatologist was I've always heard that a common wart CANT be in the genital area he told me it is highly unusual but that's what they see that's why we are molecular testing it  but never had any warts on the penis at all just the one spot that looked like a small skin tag. I'm actually a lot more concerned about the herpes virus that I'm gonna ask a question in a new forum. Thank u for all of your help I'm scared to death of these diseases and my anxiety is very high

There's nothing in the information to suggest a reason to be concerned about herpes. But feel free to post a new question about it, which Terri Warren will answer. ---

I know the wart has nothing to do with herpes my last oral sex encounter was 6 weeks ago and underneath my penis I've been experiencing burning sendationsince Wednesday afternoon my thighs ache too the area is red but no blisters yet I don't know if it's anxiety or prodome I was just gonna ask a question about that and other things thank u for answering my questions Dr Handsfield I will post another question soon 

Feel free to post your question, but for sure herpes is not the cause of symptoms like these; neither is any other STD. No chance, and I'm sure Terri would agree. Better to work with your doctor on this.---
