8. Uneven Surface: The Textural Clue
Touch can be revealing. When it comes to genital warts, the feel of the growth can be a telling sign. Not all warts have a uniform surface. Some are smooth, while others lean towards a rough texture.
The smooth warts are often the silent ones. Their seamless integration with the skin can make them harder to detect. In contrast, the rough-textured warts provide a tactile clue. Their uneven surface can often be felt upon touch.
Yet, a gentle approach is advised. Prodding or constant touching can irritate the warts. It’s always best to consult with a healthcare professional for a comprehensive examination. (8)
