Dr. Harris McIlwain answered:Condyloma (genital warts) are tiny warts that look like growths around the genitals. They are caused by the human papilloma virus (HPV). This virus is in the same family of warts you might find on the skin or plantar warts on your feet. Genital warts, however, are three times more common than herpes and highly contagious. In fact, cervical cancer in females is said to be associated with genital warts.
To get rid of condylomna, you need immediate treatment. Your doctor will remove the warts with surgery or a topical preparation may be prescribed. Keep in mind that the virus may return.

Dr. Gary Goldenberg of The Mount Sinai Medical Center answered:Genital warts are an infection caused by HPV - a virus that's spread from person to person. These are of great public health concern, since HPV can cause cervical, penile or anal cancer. The lesions usually present in the groin area as verrucous (cauliflower-like) lesions, but may also look like pimples, flat bumps, or moles. It's important to make the diagnosis and treat the lesions quickly after discovery. Delay in diagnosis and treatment may lead to spread to your partner, increase in size, and increased risk of malignant transformation.

RealAge answered:Genital warts, also known as human papillomavirus (HPV), are a viral infection that causes small, hard painless bumps in the vaginal area or on the penis. Beginning sexual activity early in the teenage years substantially increases the risk of infection. There is no blood test available for HPV. Pap exams for women can suggest an HPV infection. If warts are present, a doctor can diagnose HPV. Forgoing HPV treatments can lead to cervical cancer in women.
