What Is a Human Papillomavirus Infection?
2. What Are the Symptoms of HPV?
The most common symptoms of HPV are warts on the genitals or in the mouth or throat. Genital warts in women can appear anywhere on the vulva and may be discovered on the cervix during an examination. Men find genital warts on the penis or scrotum. These warts can appear alone or in clusters and may be flat lesions, stemmed protrusions or cauliflower-shaped groupings.
Other types of warts can be caused by HPV. Plantar warts can appear on feet, and rough bumps can show up on hands and elbows. Flat lesions can also appear on the face or neck.
