Within the past week I have visited the doctor and he told me the spreading bumps in my genital region are genital warts. He didnt seem like he totally new everythign about them since I have found research that goes against what he said.

Here is my story. I am a 22 year old male and I have only had sex with one partner. We have been together for over a year and she is now out of state and I havent seen her for 3-4 months. Also we have been having sex for almost a year. Niether of us has had issues liek this before. These bumps I have are redish brown bumps they started abotu 2 inches above my penis in my pubes. I also have one where my groin meets my thigh on each side. I have recently found one a little below my belly button. (2 inches)

here are my questions:
1.) I have never read anywhere that genital warts are in other places bseside penis, scrotum, and mayb inner thigh, but never near belly button. Could my doctor be wrong?

2.) is theer any way I coudl have contracted thsi disease form somewhere besides my girlfriend. (non sexually) because we had unprotected sex a year before I got these bumps/warts. Assuming no cheating on her part.

3.) if it could be something different does anyone have any ideas I could research to find out more?

If you need more information just ask I will be chqckign this frequently.

Thanks for the help in advance,
lotsaquestions
