Genital warts refer to any sore, ulcer, or unusual growth in the genital area. They are a common issue affecting both men and women.
These warts can be distressing to encounter, negatively impacting self-esteem and personal relationships.
At Northstar Dermatology, we offer full-service dermatological care. Our team is highly experienced, providing patients suffering from genital warts the compassionate and specialized treatments they need.
Genital warts can present in various forms, appearing smooth and flat or bumpy and “cauliflower-like.” While most are small, some may cluster together. Usually, genital warts don’t have any symptoms, but in certain cases they may involve bleeding or discomfort.
Several treatment options are available for managing genital warts. The primary goal is to remove them and reduce the risk of further transmission. Warts can be persistent, often requiring multiple treatment attempts or a combination of methods. Liquid nitrogen treatment is typically considered the main, go-to approach. Other options include applying topical prescription medications such as imiquimod, 5-fluorouracil, or retinoids.
