wart

Prevention Better Than Cure Genital warts, also known as venereal warts, can be burned off, cauterized, frozen off or made to disappear with laser therapy or surgery, but as they can lie dormant in the body there is no guarantee that they will not reappear at a later date.
It should also be noted that genital warts can be referred to as HPV (Human Papilloma Virus), Condylomata Acuminate, Condyloma, Venereal warts, and in some instances penile warts.
Venereal warts can be easily seen but those that reside under the skin are more common.
