Sick of this!

[Dra44]

I am so sick of searching for information and pictures online of genital warts. All I can find are the extreme cases that I am sure not everyone experiences because they can look many different ways. In this post I ask anyone who has had or has warts to describe their appearance so I can get a better idea and feel a little less confused and alone. Thank you

Can the warts look like just extra skin? Not round or dark?  More like a flap and not ur typical rounded wart?

Yes, go see a dermatologist or your GYN for inspection and if necessary, biopsy. Comparing pictures doesn't make sense. I had one removed that looked like a wart but wasn't.

Hello,
Warts are small painless growth on skin caused by Human Papilloma Virus. These can be light or dark. They are usually oval in growth and raised forming rough surface in the skin. They are numerous small, smooth, flat (pinhead sized) lesions on forehead, cheeks, arms, or legs.

It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
