This must be your fifth or sixth question (maybe more) along these lines and this specific question has been answered -- that IF what you have is warts, they probably are due to a low-risk (non cancer causing) type of HPV.

There are multiple strains of HPV. The strains associated with cancers are 16 and 18 and these are not common in warts.
