Genital warts are a common skin disease and a type of sexually transmitted disease. The primary mode of transmission for genital warts is through sexual contact. They can also be transmitted indirectly or from mother to child. Initially, genital warts manifest as small, moist, and soft papules. As the warts grow in size and number, they can develop into growths resembling a rooster's comb. It is crucial to treat genital warts promptly due to their high infectivity and recurrence rate, as they pose a serious risk to health.
