Genital warts are more common than you might think, with about 130,000 new cases diagnosed every year in the UK. They are caused by HPV (human papillomavirus), one of the most common STIs (sexually transmitted infections).
Genital warts can be uncomfortable, causing pain, itching, and emotional distress. We offer cryotherapy and other effective treatments, all with transparent pricing and no hidden fees, to help you manage and remove them safely.
Genital warts are transmitted through oral, vaginal, and anal sex, but warts might not develop for several weeks or months after infection. Some genital warts are very obvious, while others might just present as a change in skin colour.
In men, genital warts can appear on the penis, scrotum, groin, thighs, inside, or around the anus. In women, they can appear inside the vagina or anus, outside the vagina or anus, and on the cervix. They present in many different ways, so it is best not to self-diagnose. At our clinics, all our doctors have either trained in the UK or have over ten years of professional experience practising here. When you book an appointment with us, you can trust that you are in expert, compassionate hands backed by decades of experience.
Genital warts often appear as small, flesh-coloured bumps around the genital or anal area, varying in texture from flat to raised and sometimes forming clusters with a cauliflower-like appearance.
These warts can cause itching, burning, or discomfort, particularly if they are large or situated in sensitive areas. Changes in skin texture, such as roughness or bumpiness, may also accompany their presence.
Occasionally, genital warts may bleed slightly, especially during sexual activity or if irritated by scratching. Some individuals may even notice an increase in moisture or discharge around the affected area due to the presence of these warts.
The STIs that cause lesions include genital herpes, syphilis, and bacterial or viral skin infections (such as chancroid, which starts as a bump and develops into an ulcer, and molluscum contagiosum, a viral infection characterised by painless papules that develop into pearly nodules). HPV, specifically the HPV 6 and HPV 11 subtypes, is responsible for genital warts.
Non-sexually transmitted conditions that cause lesions and warts include vulvovaginitis, an inflammatory condition affecting the vulva and vagina, contact dermatitis caused by allergic reactions, and atopic dermatitis, where the skin becomes inflamed due to allergies. In rare cases, genital lesions can also indicate cancer.

On the online booking engine select the “appointment type” you need.
You will be seen by one of our friendly doctors or trained clinicians.
Be ready to provide your complete medical history, including any past or current sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Prepare a list of questions you may have for the healthcare provider regarding genital warts, transmission, treatment options, and prevention.
Your healthcare provider will conduct a visual inspection and an examination, or perform a biopsy (collecting a sample of the wart) to determine the presence of genital warts. They may also take a blood sample to test for HIV and syphilis.
Depending on the outcomes, they might recommend further testing by referring you to a specialist. Your healthcare provider will likely discuss preventive measures such as safe sex practices (condom use), vaccination (against HPV, which causes genital warts), and regular screenings.
