Hello,
Genital warts are usually painless.The symptoms that you are having include pain and soreness and reddish
discoloration of the bump.It is suggestive of a boil. Boils are caused by infection of the hair follicle by
staph aureus.Hair follicles that are blocked by greasy creams, petroleum jelly, or similar products are more
vulnerable to infection. Bacterial skin infections can be spread by shared cosmetics or washcloths, close
human contact, or by contact with pus from a boil or carbuncle.
Apply warm compresses on the boil and take some analgesic like ibuprofen if severe pain occurs.Once a head is
formed,the boil will drain away.If however,it increases in size or pain increases,then antibiotics may be
needed.For that a consultation of a dermatologist will be required.
Hope it helps.Take care and pls do keep me posted if you have any additional queries.
