Genital wart vs Skin corn : What is the difference?

Genital warts and skin corns are frequently mistaken for one another because they share certain visual similarities, but they are distinct skin conditions. Genital warts are caused by HPV and are contagious, while skin corns are the result of friction on the skin and are not contagious.^1,2

Genital warts can appear as small clusters of bumps or a singular bump.¹ On contrary, skin corns are usually small and round and have a hard center surrounded by inflamed skin.² Genital warts often cause itching, burning, and pain, whereas skin corns are usually painless.^1,2
