Posted on Sat, 11 Jan 2020
Question: Hello doctor. Is it possible to get anal warts without anal sex or even anal touching and no signs of genital warts.
Recently was very worried regarding a hand job. Not stopped worrying to be honest. Fear of all major stis. But through consultation and tests i am almost out of the woods. However, is it possible to get genital warts from handjob? Anal warts even even though hands were never near my anus. She was fully clothed too.

Brief Answer:
Regardiing genital warts

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to ask a doctor service. I have gone through your query and noted your concern.

It is not possible to get genital and anal warts through a handjob. Genital warts are caused by Human Papilloma Virus (HPV type 6, 11, 16, 18) which resides on genital skin and therefore is transmitted by sexual intercourse wherein there is genital skin contact. The type of HPV which causes warts on hands (common warts), type 1, 2 and 4 is different from the type which causes genital or anal warts and does not affect genital skin.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if you need any more assistance.

Thanks doctor. I.thought as much, but in my height of anxiety recently i felt inside my anus. Seems like i have a small XXXXXXX colored mole - it is tiny and soft to touch and moves about under pressure. Not rough and immovable like i imagine a wart to be. I also seemingly only have one. I am hoping that this is nothing and all part of my anxiety but worried.
From your professional experience, what do anal warts look and feel like?

Hi doc. Are moles on anus common? Would you be able to accurately diagnose this from a photo? Does healthcare magic provide this service?

Brief Answer:
Seems like haemorrhoids

Detailed Answer:
Thank you.
I have viewed the images. I think you have some hemorrhoids at the anal rim. They can feel like a tag or soft compressible swelling, more so on straining.. I couldn't see any mole or wart or tag. Anal warts are firm and either sessile or pedinculated, growths with a rough surface. I don't think you have anal warts.
Take care.
