Definition
A venereal wart is another term for genital wart, a soft growth that appears on the genitals or anus, caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV) and typically transmitted through sexual contact. The term 'venereal' emphasizes its association with sexual activity. These warts can be small and barely noticeable or larger and clustered. They can cause itching, discomfort, or pain. Treatment involves removing the warts, but the underlying HPV infection remains. It is crucial to seek medical attention for diagnosis and treatment.
