Q: I'am named concerned, I have a question about warts being passed to the lips of your mouth.

Dated a guy, really not educated to warts my self. i thought they could be moles or something , any way noticed one or two small bumps on my lips. They are almost un seen but i know they are there no pain or burning just there. This is a concern to me. What real test to ask for or how to treat. Yes did ask him to see about this condition.This was an oral transfer or contact from my hands. what oral conditions are there to the lips of your mouth?

Please read this Health Central article on Std's and oral sex. Most require oral to genital contact but some viruses, like those which can cause genital warts can live in the mouth and throat.

 

Instead of depending on or waiting for him to be examined, your best course is to see your doctor, explain the circumstances as you have here and let the doctor exam you and determine what, if anything, needs to tested for.
