Brief Answer:
Kindly send me picture od that wart.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Welcome to health care magic,

Genital warts are a type of skin infection caused by Human Papiloma virus. It is contracted mostly by sexual route and thus the site is mostly around genitals.

Also,genital warts are highly contagious and sexual exposure is a common route for contracting but it can also be spread by direct physical contact from other areas of body.

Warts are highly recurrent in nature and thus its important you get them treated as early as possible to limit the spread to other parts of your body and to your partner too.

There is currently no radical treatment to eradicate the virus. It is only possible to ameliorate the symptoms and give you some wart free period.So, chances of relapse are always present.

But before discussing treatment modalities,I need to see the lesion which will help me to make a clear diagnosis.

So,it would be better if you take a clinical picture of that wart and upload it,so that I will be able to guide you better.

I will discuss treatment after going through your lesion.

Regards,

Dr.SandipKabra
