These usually appear as soft, moist, pink or red swellings. They can be raised or flat, single or multiple, small or large. Some cluster together forming a cauliflower-like shape. They can appear on the vulva, in or around the vagina or anus, on the cervix, and on the penis, scrotum, groin, or thigh. Warts can appear within several weeks after sexual contact with an infected person, or they can take months to appear. (Source: excerpt from HPV: DSTD)
In women, the warts occur on the
outside and inside of the vagina, on the opening (cervix) to the
womb (uterus), or around the anus. In men, genital warts are less
common. If present, they usually are seen on the tip of the penis.
They also may be found on the shaft of the penis, on the scrotum, or
around the anus. Rarely, genital warts also can develop in the mouth
or throat of a person who has had oral sex with an infected person.
Genital warts often occur in clusters and can be very tiny
or can spread into large masses in the genital or anal area.
