A 35-year-old male presents with multiple small, flesh-colored bumps on his genital area. They are painless but occasionally itch. What might be the cause, and what are the next steps?
The small, flesh-colored bumps on this patient's genital area suggest genital warts, most likely due to human papillomavirus (HPV) infection. The diagnosis can be made clinically based on their appearance. Treatments include topical medications, cryotherapy, electrocautery, or surgical removal. HPV vaccination should be discussed to prevent future infections.
