6. Genital Warts
Genital warts occur around the genital area and are caused by certain types of HPV.
They can appear as small bumps or groups of growths and may be skin-colored, pink, or slightly darker.
Unlike common warts, genital warts are sexually transmitted. They can spread through intimate skin-to-skin contact.
Anyone who notices unusual growths in the genital area should seek medical advice rather than attempting to remove them with over-the-counter wart treatments designed for the hands or feet.
Common Signs and Symptoms of Warts
The appearance of a wart can vary depending on its type and location.
Common signs may include:
- A small, raised growth
- Rough or grainy skin
- A hard bump
- Small dark dots within the wart
- Several similar growths close together
- Pain or tenderness, especially with plantar warts
