The Ugly Facts on Genital Warts

January 15, 2013

When you choose to have sex, it is your responsibility to be safe and smart with your partner. If you are not, STDs can be a result of your mistake. One such STD that can cause many problems is genital warts. About 1% of sexually active adults in the U.S. have genital warts at any one time.

Genital warts stem from HPV (human papillomavirus), the most common sexually transmitted infection. They usually appear as a small bump or group of bumps in the genital area. These warts range from small to large and can be raised or flat. Our doctors can diagnose warts by looking at the genital area during an office visit. Warts usually appear within weeks or months after sexual contact with an infected partner—even if the infected partner has no signs of genital warts. If left untreated, genital warts might go away, remain unchanged or increase in size or number. This just depends on your body and the kind of treatment you get. However, you do not have to be concerned about them turning into cancer.

If you need more serious help with skin issues or something else that is troubling your body, we are here to help. Skin health is an important part of total body wellness. Schedule an appointment today with one of our board certified physicians to get your skin the care it needs so it can reach its fullest, healthiest potential.

Call today at 865-690-9467 to schedule an appointment with Knoxville Dermatology Group.
