What Causes Warts On Upper Pelvic Region?
Question: Over the last year or so I have developed what I am afraid may be 2 warts on my upper pelvic region.
It causes me no discomfort or pain and was only with one partner, but we have since separated and I have a concern as I look for new partners that I may spread it. My past partner showed no signs of genital warts but has had a few warts throughout her life on other areas of the body (hands, feet). I was wondering if someone could help identify it, and any advice on moving forward. It is in a region that actively has clothing rubbing against it while playing sports, etc. so i originally had believed it to be a skin tag.

Hi
Thank you for query.I am Dr Bharatesh D Basti answering your query.
You have been diagnosed having warts one year back itself.Have you not taken any treatment for it.
By your history it appears you do not have on genitals.It is plane wart.
Please first consult dermatologist to get treatment appropriately after discussion.
Modalities are keratolytics like podowart application needs medical guidance for application.
Cauterisation.
Cryotherapy.
Many warts of this type are transmitted by skin to skin or genital or oral contacts.
They are benign and treatable with modalities suggested.
Usage of condoms reduce genital warts transmission.

I have never been diagnosed with a wart. This appeared roughly 6 months-1 year ago and I have not yet seen a dermatologist.
So you are saying that this is a wart but just considered a "plane wart" because it is not on my genitals? It is only in the pelvic region...
If you could clarify a bit more....
Would I be able to use an over the counter wart remedy from a pharmacy to see if that helps first?
Thank you very much.
