Condyloma, or genital warts, are benign skin lesions caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). The most common areas affected include the genitals, the area around the anus, and occasionally the mouth.

One of the main types, known as condyloma acuminatum (ICD-10 code A63.0), can develop into large masses if left untreated in its early stages.
Symptoms may not appear until weeks or months after HPV exposure. When present, you may notice:

Untreated genital warts may persist for months or even years. They can spread to new areas or partners, and in some cases, regress on their own.
