Cervical warts

Genital warts, caused by different genotypes of HPV (human
papilloma virus), are the most common viral STI. These warts can be
cauliflower-like lesions (condyloma acuminata); flesh coloured,
dome shaped papules; keratotic lesions with a thick crust-like
layer; or flat topped lesions that are slightly raised.
The cervix is the most common site of HPV infection in women.
Cervical warts generally appear as cauliflower-like lesions. A
biopsy during colposcopy will confirm the diagnosis.
