Genital warts
are a sexually transmitted infection caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). Genital
warts may manifest as tiny, flesh-colored bumps in the genital region.
While common
in both men and women, genital warts are often benign and are generally
harmless. If left untreated, genital warts may cause individual discomfort or
pain, and—in certain instances—can contribute to complications during
pregnancy.
How is it treated?
Due to its
nature as a virus, signs and symptoms may be treated but there is currently no
cure for genital warts.
For the
treatment of genital warts, your board-certified dermatologist may recommend a
topical medication to boost immunity against flare-ups, or to stop existing
warts from growing. Additional treatments may include cryotherapy, laser
treatments or minor surgical interventions to remove visible warts. Our
treatment options aim to control patients' discomfort and inhibit further
transmission.
Our dedicated
team of board-certified dermatologists in Charlotte, North Carolina, will treat
you confidentially and effectively and can provide you with the relief you
desire and need.
