Do Genital Warts Appear As White Marks On Penis?

Please Provide photo.
Detailed Answer:
Hello , I understand your concern. I am Dr. Arun Tank & I am infectious disease specialist. I am going to answer your concern.
- Genital warts can appear as small white marks on any part of genitalia as well as on non genital surrounding area also, I want to see the photograph of the lesion to help you further?
- Wearing condom will reduce (Not 100 %)the risk of HPV infection. Even after wearing condom if the Non genital area surrounding the region has HPV, it can transmits the HPV to partner.
-It has variable incubation period and can occur between 3 weeks to 8 month with average incubation period of 3 months.
If you have anything else to ask I will be very happy to answer that. We wish you a best health at healthcare magic.

Highly unlikely to be genital warts.
Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX
From the image it is highly unlikely to be wart.
- The area in question was protected under the condom and therefore was not exposed to HPV. So they are protected by HPV warts.
- While surrounding part was vulnerable to exposure by HPV. So chances of HPV wart to surrounding area is more. Since the exposed part is clear, in my opinion those are unlikely to be warts.
