Ok

Neither of those looks like a genital wart

They're both benign cysts from blocked pores and not any infection or STD

If they bother you a dermatologist can get rid of them with a CO2 laser

Oh really? How certain of that would you be and is there different kinds of treatment?

I'm sure--I've seen many of these as well as genital warts

The other option would be liquid nitrogen freezing

How do I go about getting rid of them? As I really want them gone

You'd need to see a dermatologist for that
