However, genital warts can also be embarrassing and have a big impact on mental health, so we specialise in genital wart removal which can help you regain your confidence.
Genital Warts
Genital warts are skin growths that can appear around the penis, vagina, anus, and surrounding areas. They are sexually transmitted and are caused by the human papilloma virus (HPV). Genital warts can appear as skin-colored growths and will form in groups around the private area, in about three or four clusters. They can look like small cauliflower shapes. While it is important to seek medical advice to attack the virus, that won’t always rid you of genital warts. However, our laser treatment can kill genital warts until they no longer appear on your nether regions. Sometimes genital warts appear to look like genital skin tags, however we would diagnose this at your consultation and treat them both at the same time.
