They also may be found on the shaft of the penis or on the scrotum. Genital warts also can develop in the mouth, throat, lips of a person who has had oral sex with an infected partner. There is no way to predict whether the genital wart will grow or disappear. The bad new is that there is no cure or effective treatment for HPV , but there are techniques to treat visible genitalis warts, which can reduce infectivity, although there are no trials studying the effectiveness of treating visible warts in reducing transmission. Genital warts may disappear without any treatment or creams, sometimes they eventually develop a fleshy, small raised growth. Genital warts must be taken very seriously.
