Hi My boyfriend has discovered he has genital warts. I had them around four months ago but i thought they were skin tags so i ignored them. They cleared up without any treatment but obviously they must of been warts. I am really worried about developing cervical cancer. What are my chances? I need to put my mind at ease. Kind regards Nicola
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. Usually genital warts are benign viral infection.  So mostly not malignant. But if HPV positiver than chances of malignant transformation is high. So better to check your partner and yourself too, for HPV positivity. And follow safe sex practice. Use condom.  It is the best barrier contraception for warts as well as other sexually transmitted diseases (STDs)
