ive known about my HPV for about 10 months now,,i had a small break out,,and succsesfuly had them frozzen off,, but now one wart has returned and is much larger (compared to the rest), had it frozen but it didnt do anything for it, it hasnt gone any where for the last 2-3 month (unlike the other outbreak)
is this a tell, tell sign of penile cancer?

no, you could have an aggressive strain of hpv, this could also be a sign of PIN also known as penile intraepithelial neoplasia, meaning precancerous cells. you might try a different treatment, from what i understand recurrance rate is much higher with freezing, try using aldara, or TCA treatments. if it still doesnt go away, ask to have it biopsied. (they take a small sample and examine it under a microscope) this will verify exactly what it is...

cont from above
and if there is any cause for concern. if it is PIN, dont worry, most cases can go away on there on, it will just need to be monitored, if it isnt and it is just HPV, you can simply have the wart cut off to remove it, but please remember removing the wart doesnt mean that hpv is gone, so be sure to monitor the area for any sort of changes. i hope this helps some.

Yes, removing the wart doesnt mean that hpv is gone. hpv is never gone!

hpv does cause cancer. You must monitor your penile closely

please dont be scared by these last two posters. hpv does cause cancer but in men is very rare. there are about 1500 cases of penile cancer diagnosed in the US each year and about 250 men will die from it each year. yes it can happen, but dont be terrified that it will happen either, just be informed.
