Genital wart: A cauliflower like growth at this location is usually caused by a strain of genital human papiloma virus (HPV). These are spread by direct sexual contact. You are likely passing the virus to any sexual contact. A dermatologist, urologist or your GP may have the equipment to freeze it or provide meds to remove it.
