Just a question. do genital warts grow under or on top of already formed skin? so skin is peeled in an area and bump grew. i did pick at it. i havent seen gw cause this? anyone with information?

GW's invade and convert superficial tissues they come in contact with during sex. The germ spreads locally, side to side, not by entering the bloodstream.

genital warts, though commonly transmitted via sex, can sometimes be contracted via any contact with another source, including ones self. They are usually superficial and can spread via trauma and manipulation. Suggest that you see your dermatologist for eval and poss tx either surgically or with some topical meds.
