Genital warts belong to a contagious sexually transmitted disease caused by the human papillomavirus infection, commonly known as HPV.

This disease generally has a high incidence among sexually active populations. Once infected, it tends to be highly recurrent and contagious. The most characteristic symptoms are cauliflower-like or cock's comb-like growths. Initially, there are sharp-pointed white papules that gradually may grow into lumps. Typically, these growths are found on the external genitalia, foreskin, glans, or anal region. Treatment for this condition can be challenging. Once diagnosed, it is essential to seek standard treatment from a dermatology department in a reputable hospital. Treatment must be persistent, potentially lasting at least six months to a year. It is advisable to avoid sexual contact until completely healed.
