Good news
There are ways to keep Genital Warts under control.
Bad news (not too bad)
Genital warts stay forever – they cannot be treated completely.
How does it look if you got it
Genital warts look like small cauliflowers. On males may appear on the following areas:
- penis
- scrotum
- groin
- thighs
- inside or around the anus
For females, these warts may appear:
- inside of the vagina or anus
- outside of the vagina or anus
- on the cervix
Genital warts may also appear on the lips, mouth, tongue, or throat of a person who has had oral sexual contact with a person who has genital warts in a first place.
What to do
See your GP or a nurse.
What NOT to do
Do not have sex with others until you hear advice from the doctor. Do not buy self-treatment stuff for hand warts – that may cause problems.
