What Causes Genital Warts In Children?
My 7 year old granddaughter has leukemia, she has just completed her treatments. Now, she has been diagnosed with genital warts. Could she have gotten this condition some other way than sexual transmission? I do not believe with all my heart that she has been in contact with anyone that has this condition.

Hello,
Genital warts are sexually transmitted.Please talk to your granddaughter about this. Ask her gently who has been abusing her. I know this must be something which is very difficult for you to accept, but child sexual abuse is not as uncommon as we think. Involve a child psychologist as well.
Wishing you good luck.
