A member asked:
Do genital warts always grow and continue to spread?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Genital warts are caused by a virus and an intact immune system can limit the spread and eventually eliminate them. Since we cannot predict when and if this will happen, warts are usually actively treated.
