Genital warts are a dermatologic manifestation of a sexually transmitted infection, caused by the epidermotropic human papilloma virus.
Risk factors for getting genital warts include, having multiple sex partners, smoking, use of oral contraceptive pills, and sexual intercourse at a very young age.
Human papilloma virus is a double stranded DNA virus, which has more than 100 different types.
Out of these, about 35 types have the affinity to genital sites.
There are two categories of genital HPV exist: the low-risk benign type, and the high-risk neoplastic type.
Low risk types 6 and 11 are responsible for most genital warts, accounting for more than 90% of cases.
Warts caused by these strains are least likely to be transformed into malignancy.
Frequently affected sites include penis, vulva and the vagina, uterine cervix, perineum, and peri anal region.
Occasionally, oropharynx; larynx; and trachea can be affected due to oral sex. The disease is primarily transmitted via sexual intercourse. However, less frequently, it can be transmitted by direct contact, and indirect contact through fomites.
They appear as multiple, painless bumps, often associated with pruritis and discharge. In most cases, more than one area is involved. In addition, there may be features of other co existent sexually transmitted infections.
Rarely, urethral bleeding may occur due to obstruction of the urethral meatus. Peri anal lesions may be seen in individuals who have anal sex. Complications of genital warts include local disfigurement, transformation into genitourinary malignancies, transmission to the child during delivery. And recurrence.
If left untreated, three things can happen.
They may resolve spontaneously, or progress into larger lesions with an increase in their number, or remain unchanged.
Major treatment options include the following.
Cryotherapy, where liquid nitrogen is sprayed to ablate the lesions, electrodessication and curettage, surgical excision of the lesions, which has the highest success rate and lowest recurrence rate, carbon dioxide laser treatment, which requires local, regional, or general anesthesia, and infrared coagulation, which causes tissue coagulation and necrosis.
Medical therapy includes acid applications. Interferon injections. And medications for house use, including imiquimod cream, podofilox gel or solution, and anti-proliferative agents such as 5 fluorouracil.

Other white bumps or rashes can be molluscum or a wart and you need to consult your dermatologist to check for that.

Genital warts are a sexually transmitted infection caused by certain types of human papillomavirus (HPV).They are generally pink in color and project out from the surface of the skin.Usually they cause few symptoms, but can occasionally be painful. Typically they appear one to eight months following exposure.Warts are the most easily recognized symptom of genital HPV infection.

HPV types 6 and 11 are the typical cause of genital warts. It is spread through direct skin-to-skin contact, usually during oral, genital, or anal sex with an infected partner.Diagnosis is generally based on symptoms and can be confirmed by biopsy. The types of HPV that cause cancer are not the same as those that cause warts.

Some HPV vaccines can prevent genital warts as may condoms.[Treatment options include creams such as podophyllin, imiquimod, and trichloroacetic acid.Cryotherapy or surgery may also be an option. After treatment warts often resolve within 6 months.Without treatment, in up to a third of cases they resolve on their own.

About 1% of people in the United States have genital warts.Many people, however, are infected and do not have symptoms.Without vaccination nearly all sexually active people will get some type of HPV at one point in their lives.The disease has been known at least since the time of Hippocrates in 300 BC
