Condyloma is a medical term used to describe the growth of warts on the skin. The growths are caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV) and are usually characterized by a rough, cauliflower-like surface. Synonyms for condyloma include genital warts, venereal warts, and anogenital warts. Other colloquial terms used to refer to condyloma include cockscomb, froggen, crowns, and dog ears. These warts can appear on any part of the body, but are most commonly found around the anus and genitals. They can be transmitted through sexual contact and can cause discomfort, bleeding, and persistent itching. It is important to seek medical attention if you suspect you have condyloma or any other unpleasant skin growth.
