How can you distinguish between genital warts and acne?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Easy: Acne lesions come and go over days, are red, likely to be swollen and a bit tender, may turn to pus, there's often comedones nearby. Genital warts are more stable and aren't usually linked with redness. There are bunch of lesions that are neither of the above, and it sounds like a visit to your physician would be in order. Best wishes.
