What It Is
Genital warts are soft, skin-colored or slightly darker growths that appear in the genital or anal area. They are caused by certain strains of the human papillomavirus (HPV) and are transmitted through skin-to-skin sexual contact. They may be single or multiple and can increase in size or number over time.
