Genital Warts

The Basics | Symptoms | Detection & Treatment

What Are the Symptoms?

  • Painless, flesh-colored or grayish-white growths on the outside or inside of the vagina, around the cervix, around the anus, scrotum, or penis that may develop a cauliflower-like appearance.
  • Growths in these areas that are itchy or mildly sore.

Call Your Doctor If:

You develop any of these symptoms; although genital warts are harmless, they are contagious and require medical treatment.
