Anogenital warts (condylomas) are caused by human papillomavirus (HPV) with >90% of the lesions caused by genotypes 6 and 11.
Transmission is most often by sexual contact.
Primary goal of treatment is to eliminate warts that cause physiological or psychological symptoms. No definitive evidence suggests that any of the treatment options are better than the others. Warts found in intertriginous areas or moist surfaces respond best to topical therapy.
Many HPV infections are subclinical, transient, and clear spontaneously within 12 months but may also remain latent and reactivate after several years.
