After a 1- to 6-month incubation period (usually 2 months), genital warts develop on moist surfaces: in males, on the subpreputial sac, within the urethral meatus and, less commonly, on the penile shaft; in females, on the vulva and on vaginal and cervical walls. In both sexes, papillomas spread to the perineum and the perianal area. These painless warts start as tiny red or pink swellings that grow (sometimes up to 10 cm) and become pedunculated. Typically, multiple swellings give them a cauliflower-like appearance. If infected, the warts become malodorous.
Most patients report no symptoms; a few complain of itching or pain.

Clinical manifestations depend on the type of wart and its location:
❑ common (verruca vulgaris): rough, elevated, rounded surface; appears most frequently on extremities, particularly hands and fingers; most prevalent in children and young adults
❑ condyloma acuminatum (moist wart or genital wart): usually small, pink to red, moist, and soft; may occur singly or in large cauliflower-like clusters on the penis, scrotum, vulva, cervix, vagina, and anus; can also occur on oral mucosa following oral-genital exposure; considered a sexually transmitted disease
❑ digitate: fingerlike, horny projection arising from a pea-shaped base; occurs on scalp or near hairline
❑ filiform: single, thin, threadlike projection; commonly occurs around the face and neck
❑ flat (also known as juvenile or verruca plana): multiple groupings of up to several hundred slightly raised lesions with smooth, flat, or slightly rounded tops; common on the face, neck, chest, knees, dorsa of hands, wrists, and flexor surfaces of the forearms; usually occur in children but can affect adults; often linear distribution because of spread from scratching or shaving
❑ periungual: rough, irregularly shaped, elevated surface; occurs around edges of fingernails and toenails; when severe, may extend under nail and lift it off nail bed, causing pain
❑ plantar: slightly elevated or flat; occur singly or in large clusters (mosaic warts), primarily at pressure points of feet.
