Why do genital warts turn darker over time?

Inflammation is usually associated with increased pigmentation at the site of the lesion. Get HPV vaccine to prevent infection with other stains of HPV.

Is there a time of skin to skin contact needed to get genital warts? Would 1-2mins of protected sex with fairly minimal skin contact be enough? Woman had warts in past and removed within last year and hasnt seen any warts within last couple months?
