From your description not warts could be folliculitis, dermatitis or allergy. Needs exam if not better in a few days. In the meantime clean with soap and water useOTC cortisporin cream and wear a cotton under wear. Good luck

Ive been STD tested and took doxycycline. My head still has some redness. Should I be worried ? Do you know what it is. I have slight itchiness, no pee irritation, no bumps?

No STD is a likely cause of "redness" or itching of the head or scalp. Was your STD test positive? Which STD? Why the doxycycline?
