A member asked:

My ob said i have genital warts by examination but i can pick small white balls out of the bumps with tweezers ? can they be mistaken for something ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

May be: Genital warts are due to hpv infection and a definitive diagnosis can be made by biopsy and tissue examination. You are still at an age where vaccination for hpv is recommended and i would recommend that you get it.
