A member asked:
Is it rather easy for a doctor or dermatologist to differentiate between folliculitis and genital warts? just curious. dont know how often one is mistaken for the other?

Yes. Easy: Looks entirely different, acts entirely different. Any reasonably competent doctor should be able to tell one from the other
