Genital warts or condylomata acuminata are one of the main clinical manifestations of human papillomavirus (HPV) infection and are sexually transmitted infections.(1)They are external, have a cauliflower-like appearance, and may be either flat or papular.
The colour of genital warts varies from white to pink, purple, red or brown. Some of the lesions are visible to the "naked eye" and asymptomatic. However, symptoms such as pain, itching and discomfort may occur.(2)
These lesions affect the genital mucosa, tending to appear in areas such as the vulva and perianal area.(2) The incidence is higher in men than in women. The peak incidence rate among women is at 24 years of age and among men between 25 and 29 years.(1);(3)
