Genital warts are formations that mostly develop due to HPV infection and appear as small bumps, rough structures, or cauliflower-like lesions in the genital area. They can occur at a single spot or tend to spread over time.
Although in some patients they may seem to be only an aesthetic problem, when left untreated the risk of multiplication and transmission increases.
Symptoms
- Small, raised lesions in the genital area
- Rough or clustered warts
- Itching or mild discomfort
