Suggest Treatment For Warts Around The Genitals
I recently discovered what I think are warts around my genitals. My boyfriend doesn t have it though and I have been faithful. About two months ago though, I went to a different beauty therapist for a Brazilian wax. Could I have caught it from her? Because it was around that time that I discovered it.

Hello,
Common warts are caused by the human papillomavirus. Some strains of HPV are acquired through sexual contact. Most forms, however, are spread by casual skin contact or through shared objects, such as towels or washcloths. The virus usually spreads through breaks in your skin, such as a hangnail.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
