4. Moistness in the Affected Area: A Less-Known Indicator
An often-overlooked symptom of genital warts is a consistent feeling of dampness or moistness in the affected area. This can be due to the warts themselves or the body’s response to their presence.
The moist environment can further exacerbate the itching and discomfort, making daily activities cumbersome. It can also lead to potential secondary infections if not kept clean and dry.
It’s essential to maintain proper hygiene to counteract this symptom. Regular cleaning and ensuring the area remains dry can help in alleviating the sensation of dampness. (4)
