Condyloma acuminata, commonly known as genital warts, are a sexually transmitted infection caused by certain types of human papillomavirus (HPV).

- Cause: HPV, particularly types 6 and 11.

- Symptoms: Small, flesh-colored or gray growths in the genital area, which can be flat or raised, single or clustered.

- Transmission: Through skin-to-skin contact during sexual activity.

- Diagnosis: Typically by visual inspection, though a biopsy might be needed for confirmation.

- Treatment: 
  - Topical treatments like imiquimod, podofilox, or trichloroacetic acid.

  - Cryotherapy (freezing), electrocautery (burning), or surgical removal.

  - No treatment can cure HPV itself, but these methods can manage or remove warts.
