Genital warts are caused by certain types of human papillomavirus, or HPV. They can affect both men and women and may appear on or around the genital area.
Not every genital lesion is a wart. Sores, ulcers, bumps, or other growths may have different causes, which is why evaluation by a dermatologist can be important when a new or unusual lesion appears.
Northstar Dermatology provides medical dermatology services for a wide range of skin concerns, including sensitive conditions that require careful diagnosis.
Genital warts can vary in appearance. They may be:
Many genital warts do not cause noticeable symptoms, although some may become irritated, bleed, or feel uncomfortable. If a lesion changes, becomes painful, bleeds, or is difficult to identify, a dermatologist can help determine the appropriate next step.
Several treatment options are available for genital warts. Treatment is generally focused on removing visible warts and reducing the likelihood of continued spread.
Because genital warts can be persistent, some patients may require more than one treatment session or a combination of treatments. Options may include liquid nitrogen cryotherapy, prescription topical medications, or other in-office treatments selected based on the size, number, and location of the warts.
