Can you get genital warts on fingers

Q: Can you get genital warts on fingers?
A: Genital warts are skin growths in the groin, genital, or anal areas. They can be different sizes and shapes. Some look like flat white patches, and others are bumpy, like tiny bunches of cauliflower. Sometimes you can't see the warts at all.

How does it HPV passed on?
Genital HPV is transmitted by genital skin-to-skin contact, or through the transfer of infected genital fluids. This is usually during vaginal or anal sex, but it is also possible to pass it on through non-penetrative sexual activity. Therefore, it is possible to have genital warts on fingers.
What are the symptoms of genital warts?

The signs and symptoms of genital warts include:
Small, flesh-colored or gray swellings in your genital area
Several warts close together that take on a cauliflower shape
Itching or discomfort in your genital area
Bleeding with intercourse
Often, genital warts may be so small and flat that they can't be seen with the naked eye. Sometimes, however, genital warts may multiply into large clusters.

When do you need to see a doctor?
Call your doctor if you have any of the following symptoms:
l Sores, bumps, rashes, blisters, or warts on or around your genitals or anus
l Burning, pain, or severe itching while urinating
l For women, an abnormal vaginal discharge that smells bad
l For men, an abnormal discharge from your penis
l Call your doctor if you suspect you have been exposed to a sexually transmitted infection (STI).
Avoid sexual contact until you have been examined by a doctor.

Do you need surgery?
You may have surgery to remove genital warts if they are widespread and medicine or freezing (cryotherapy) fails to remove them.

If you have a high-risk type of HPV that causes an abnormal Pap test, your doctor may recommend certain types of surgery. For more information about surgical methods to treat abnormal cell changes, see the topic Abnormal Pap Test.
