7. Raised or Flat Profile: The Variability in Appearance
Genital warts have a dual nature. Their appearance can vary significantly. Some stand proud, raised from the skin’s surface. Others prefer being undercover, remaining flat and almost blending with the skin.
The raised warts often demand attention. Their protrusion, coupled with their location, can make them easy to identify. On the contrary, flat warts are the silent operators. Their presence is subtle, often requiring a closer look.
Regardless of the profile, the concern remains the same. Both types of warts signify an underlying HPV infection. The key lies in familiarization. Knowing your body can be your first defense.(7)
