Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
Recently, I found a bump in the area in between my scrotum and anus. The dermatologist removed it and sent it to the lab. Lab said it was a viral verruca. The doctor said this most likely is not an STD and more of a normal wart in a weird location. Should I consider this not as an STD and move on with my life?
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I have gone through your case in detail. In my opinion, wart in this area is likely to be transmitted through sexual contact. So, it is part of STD (sexually transmitted disease). You need to undergo complete workup of STD and then move ahead. This is not a location of a common wart. Take care.
Patient's Query
Thank you doctor,
I thought a STD would be called a condyloma.
Hi,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
Well, large verrucae are called condyloma. Wart is a common name. In the anogenital area, any wart or verrucae or condyloma raises suspicion of STD. My stress is that do not take it lightly to be a common wart. Undergo complete tests for STD.
