Hello. These look like papilloma virus warts. Generally, they will regress on their own in 1-2 months. They can be surgically removed or removed with laser or cryotherapy, &/or medical therapy initiated to help in the removal. Some medications that have been used include interferon alpha, Imiquimod ( Aldara ), cimetidine & azithromycin. Consult with your veterinarian if any of these might be appropriate for Adam.
