Genital warts usually appear as soft, moist, pink or red swellings. They can be raised or flat, single or multiple, small or large.
Some cluster together forming a cauliflower-like shape. They can appear on the vulva, in or around the vagina or anus, on the cervix, and on the penis, scrotum, groin, or thigh.
Genital warts can appear within several weeks after sexual contact with an infected person, or they can take months to appear.
Genital warts are diagnosed by inspection.
Visible genital warts can be removed, but no treatment is better than another, and no single treatment is ideal for all cases.
Who is at risk for genital HPV infection?
Anyone who has sex is at risk for genital HPV infection.
