They don’t blanch more than the normal skin when pressed. Lesions that blanch are usually capillaries or those full of blood or lymph( angiomas,hemorrhoids, lymphangioma,angiokeratoma, varicosity,etc).They don’t peel the skin and don’t create a wound when popping out. Your PCP will know the difference.Important to check bc Genital warts are contagious and may cause cancer of cervix and anorectal
