Genital warts are contagious, you should see a doctor if you discover any such growths.
Genital warts are caused by the same virus that causes other warts on the hands and feet etc - the human papilloma virus, or HPV.
Although there is no cure for genital warts, they are easily controlled and should not disrupt your life. Nearly all warts go within six months to two years. Nonetheless, genital warts should not be left untreated as they are highly contagious and can come back later on.
Never attempt to get rid of genital warts with over-the-counter remedies. Instead, let your doctor remove warts with a chemical "paint".
Because genital warts are contagious, you should see a doctor before looking at any other type of treatment.
