Best to be treated: Other kinds of skin bumps can look like warts, and nongenital warts are uncommon in adults -- so maybe those weren't warts. Although your immune system will eventually clear your genital warts, it can take months or years. Much better to see a doctor or clinic and have them treated. Good luck!
