Recurrent warts: Yes, this is possible. Recent research shows that late recurrence of genital warts, or other manifestations of HPV (like abnormal pap smears in women) is more common than previously believed. But it's not harmful -- an inconvenience, not a serious health threat. See your doctor and get treated, if warts are confirmed. They probably won't come back again. Good luck!
