Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A wart located on the vulva is highly suggestive of a genital wart or condyloma, which is caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). Genital herpes is characterized by ulcers or blisters on the genital area and is not typically described as a wart. A chancre is a painless sore that is characteristic of primary syphilis, but it typically appears on the external genitalia, anus, or inside the mouth. Secondary syphilis may present with skin rashes and lesions, but they are not typically described as a wart.
