Cauliflower-growth: These are not pretty growth on the skin/genital/anal areas--growth looks like picture here. These are caused by viruses and the ones we talk about much lately are human papilloma viruses. There are quite a few subtyes and few are preventable by vaccines. If you have new growth or enlarging ones in your private areas, have them evaluated. Good luck.
