Brief Answer:
Warts on affected skin. Radio frequency ablation.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Welcome again to the forum and thanks for posting the picture.

After analyzing the picture with diligence I can make out that you have viral warts on the affected area.

The picture shows brownish, raised eruptions. In my experience these must be asymptomatic. In such kind of cases I prefer to remove these eruptions by radio frequency ablation. Do not try to touch or pinch or pop the area as can cause further spread. Avoid unprotected intercourse and use protection in every act.

You can meet a dermatologist to get these eruptions removed easily by radio frequency ablation which requires only few minutes of time.

I hope these informations will help you. I will be glad to guide you any further.

Thanks! Are these a form of a std like hpv or something else? This is embarrassing to go to a doctor. Is there another way to remove them? Thank you!

Brief Answer:
Radio frequency ablation is best treatment.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Welcome again and thanks for your swift response.

The warts you have on skin is basically a Sexually transmitted disease caused by Human papilloma virus ( HPV ).

The best way to get rid of the warts is by radio frequency ablation. Applying any self medication can cause irritation or skin burn so is not advised.

You should not feel embarrassed by this simple problem as is one of the most commonly seen STD.

So don't worry about the condition and get yourself treated earliest.

I hope these informations will help you. I will be glad to guide you any further.
