What Genital Warts Are and How Alberta Patients Recognize Them
Genital warts are soft skin growths that appear in or around the genital or anal area. They are caused by certain low-risk types of the human papillomavirus (HPV), one of the most common sexually transmitted infections. Warts are contagious through skin-to-skin contact, but they are generally not dangerous. Book a virtual visit if you notice any of the following:
- Small, flesh-coloured or grey bumps in the genital or anal area
- Clusters of growths that may look like a small cauliflower
- Mild itching, irritation, or discomfort around the area
- New growths after recent skin-to-skin or sexual contact
- Bumps that you would like a doctor to assess and confirm
Private Online HPV Wart Assessment for Albertans
Visiting a walk-in clinic for a sensitive concern can mean long waits and little privacy. Our virtual service connects you with a licensed doctor who reviews your described symptoms and, where appropriate, photos you choose to share. The doctor works to distinguish warts from other lesions and explains your options. If the diagnosis is uncertain, the lesions look atypical, or an in-clinic procedure is needed, the doctor will advise in-person assessment. Where a test requisition is appropriate, it can be directed to a DynaLIFE collection site near you.
Treatment Options and Alberta Pharmacies We Serve
Depending on the assessment, a licensed doctor may prescribe a topical treatment such as imiquimod cream, podofilox, or sinecatechins to clear visible warts. These are prescriptions, not controlled substances. Some warts respond better to in-clinic procedures such as cryotherapy (freezing), electrocautery, or removal, which the doctor will refer you for. Prescriptions can be sent to the pharmacy of your choice across Alberta, including Shoppers Drug Mart, Rexall, Save-On-Foods Pharmacy, Loblaws, and independent neighbourhood pharmacies in Calgary, Edmonton, and beyond.
When to Seek In-Person or Emergency Care in Alberta
Most genital warts can be managed with virtual care and topical treatment, but certain situations require an in-person assessment at a clinic or your nearest hospital emergency department, such as Foothills Medical Centre in Calgary or the University of Alberta Hospital in Edmonton.

- Avoid skin-to-skin contact with the affected area while warts are present
