A member asked:

Are all genital warts caused by hpv? is it possible for some to appear > 3 years later? same partner for 3 years & recently had a wart removed by derm

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes/yes: HPV is a family of virus strains that includes at least 4 strains that produce all genital warts. Warts on other skin surfaces come from other strains of HPV. All strains have the potential to reappear months or years later. You could have had a recurrence or a new strain.
