Penile (genital) warts. Warts (condyloma acuminata) of the anogenital region are caused by the human papilloma virus (HPV),types 6 and 11. HPV infection is transmitted directly during sexual intercourse.

Genital warts are removed by chemical means,usually though a combination of applying podophyllin (an anti-mitotic) and caustic tricholoracetic acid. Recurrences are common | |
