Male HPV warts advice

I think i have HPV genital warts, but i went to the doctor and he said that it does not look like it, so he offered to just get it removed. In about a week i noticed there were some left(or so I thought) went back to the same doctor and got it removed again. After a while, I realized more warts appeared, so I decided to change the doctor and he got me urine test(if I understand it correctly, hpv is in the skin, so doesn’t make sense?) and said that we should get it removed and wait to see if they come back. It has been 6 months and I had like 3 more, but doctor said that they are too small to take the biopsy, so we have to wait. I am just so scared of getting my skin irritated again, my last removal therapy left a really bad scar, but I don’t know what else to do. They also offered me a brush test, but warned me that it might not be 100% accurate. I really don’t know what to do now, since even the doctor couldn’t say, i feel so ashamed of myself for being dirty and wouldn’t want anyone to get in trouble, cuz of me, especially with the risk of cancer :(
Has anyone ever had a similar experience? Is there any other way to get tested or should i really wait longer?

(i didn’t expect it to be this long, I’m sorry, I felt like i needed to explain everything, first time facing an issue like this)
