Accepted Answer

Genital warts: Genital warts (viral) over time can be eliminated by your immune system.  If there has been 3 years since you have seen evidence of them,  it is possible not to communicate them to a sexual partner.  With long intervals, your immune protection may expire, so another exposure may cause recurrence. The virus is easy to communicate to a sexual partner.

Question 3

can genital warts appear on a males anus if he is straight and havent been penetrated by another male?

Accepted Answer

Other locations ?: Genital warts are transmitted from an infected source to a recipient through direct contact. If you have been exposed to genital warts from a sexual contact it might transfer from another site through scratching. Regular skin warts do not end up on genital skin. If you have a small growth it could easily be a skin tag or hemorrhoid remnant.

what happens if i just discovered small genital warts i know its a concern but can i get rid of them a.s.a.p?

Accepted Answer

See a doctor: See a doctor or clinic for professional diagnosis and treatment advice. Over the counter chemicals and various folk remedies have not been studied scientifically and it isn't known how well they work, if at all. Some apparent warts actually are other skin conditions.
