Probably not warts: It takes at least 6 weeks and usually 2-6 months after catching HPV before visible warts appear. So if "recent" is in the past few weeks, they aren't warts from that exposure. If the bumps look like your other pearly papules, that's probably what they are. PPPs tend to increase in number through the late teen to early 20s. But see a doctor if you remain uncertain.
