genital warts
STI skin bumps
Genital warts are fleshy growths that appear on or around the genitals and anus, caused by certain strains of human papillomavirus (HPV).
They're among the most common sexually transmitted infections.
The warts may be flat or raised, single or clustered, and can appear weeks or months after exposure.
Most cases are treatable but the virus itself persists.
