The incubation period for warts is 1 to 8 months, with an average of 3 months, and occurs mainly in sexually active people.

1. Typical condyloma acuminatum

Genitals and perianal area are the most common parts of the body, men are mostly seen in the foreskin, ligament, coronary groove, glans, urethral opening, penile body, perianal area, intrarectal area and scrotum, and women are more often seen in the labia majora and minora, posterior union, vestibule, clitoris, cervix, and perianal area. Occasionally, it can be seen in areas other than the pubic area and perianal area, such as the armpits, umbilical fossa, mouth, breasts and between the toes. Vaginitis in women and circumcision in men are contributing factors in the development of acromegaly.

The damage begins as tiny pale red papules, which gradually increase in size, single or clustered distribution, moist and soft, with an uneven surface, papillary, corns or cauliflower-like protrusions. Red or dirty gray. The root often has a tip, and is prone to erosion and oozing, easy to bleed when touched. Between the cracks of the lesions there is often purulent secretion accumulation, resulting in a foul odor, and can be caused by scratching and secondary infection. This disease often has no self-awareness of symptoms, some patients may appear foreign body sensation, pain, itching or painful sexual intercourse. Acromegaly in the rectum can occur pain, blood in the stool, a sense of urgency.

2. HPV subclinical infection

The HPV infection can not be recognized by the naked eye in the clinical, but with the acetic acid white test (with 5% acetic acid solution applied or wet compresses found in the local whitening), histopathology or nucleic acid detection technology can be found in the evidence of HPV infection.

3. Relationship with tumors

A large amount of epidemiological data indicated that HPV infection (mainly high-risk HPV types, such as HPV-16 and 18) is closely related to the development of genital cancers, such as cervical cancer and penile cancer.

The prognosis is generally good after treatment. However, recurrence is possible regardless of the method of treatment.
