Bowenoid papulosis, a rare sexually transmitted infection, is caused by human papillomavirus (HPV) type 16. It results in lesions on the genitals in both men and women. The lesions are usually reddish-brown or violet with a raised surface. People having an infection of herpes simplex, human papillomavirus, HIV (human immunodeficiency virus), and genital warts can develop bowenoid papulosis in the later stage. It is treated by local excision, electrodesiccation, cryosurgery, laser surgery, and using topical retinoic acid and immunomodulators.
