Genital warts are indeed the most common sexually transmitted infection (STI). They are caused by certain types of the human papillomavirus (HPV), specifically those that do not typically cause cancer. While treatments are available to remove genital warts, it’s important to note that once you have HPV and genital warts, you can still transmit the infection to others through sexual contact.

We can safely and effectively remove any seborrheic keratosis if you wish to do so for cosmetic reasons or if the growth causes discomfort.

Genital warts can appear on various parts of the body involved in sexual activity. They commonly infect the:

– Groin area
– Anus
– Rectum
– Penis and scrotum
– Vagina (including the inside), vulva, vaginal lips (labia minora and labia majora), and cervix
– Lips, mouth, tongue, or throat

Genital warts affect individuals of all genders, but they are most frequently observed in teenagers and young adults. People assigned male at birth (AMAB) are slightly more prone to developing genital warts. The risk of contracting genital warts increases under certain conditions:

– Not using condoms or dental dams during sexual intercourse
– Having multiple sexual partners

At our clinic, genital warts can be effectively treated with ACP (Advanced Cosmetic Procedures). ACP is a highly precise, minimally invasive treatment in which a sterile probe delivers controlled energy directly to the affected tissue. This energy destroys the wart while preserving the surrounding healthy skin, promoting natural healing. ACP allows for targeted removal of genital warts with minimal discomfort and reduces the likelihood of scarring. It is suitable for treating single or multiple warts in sensitive areas safely and effectively.

To learn more about this treatment, please book a confidential consultation with one of our skin specialists. During the appointment, we can assess your condition and create a personalised treatment plan to help you safely and effectively remove genital warts.
