Genital Warts treatment in Magdalena Contreras

Genital warts are skin lesions that appear in the genital or anal area, caused by certain types of the human papillomavirus (HPV). It's one of the most common sexually transmitted infections.

Common characteristics: they usually present as small raised areas of the skin, isolated or in a group, that at times go unnoticed; they can cause discomfort or itching.

When to seek care? An evaluation is worthwhile when you notice new lesions in the genital or anal area, since a professional can confirm their nature and offer guidance on follow-up.

Which specialists treat them? The gynecologist and the urologist evaluate the genital area depending on the case, the dermatologist assesses the skin lesions, and the infectious disease specialist brings their focus to sexually transmitted infections. If you notice changes in this area, seeing a health professional, with discretion and without delay, will allow you to receive the appropriate guidance.
