A specific type of virus that affects the skin and mucous membranes, specifically the genitals are the Human Papilloma viruses.

Various types of these viruses tend to appear on specific areas of the skin. Some of these types of viruses can lead to cancer. These high level risk viruses can cause carcinomas in the genital area for both men and women.

Some types are viral viruses which can be located in the same ulcerations that they caused. The lesions if constantly exposed to solar rays can develop into malignant skin cancers. The development can be protracted and will not be apparent for a long time. The common manifestations of the virus are the moles and warts that look like growths of the skin. On some occasions, the small thrombosis blood vessels can be seen because of their transparency.

The growths develop mainly on the fingers and on the hands. Having it on the palms and soles of the feet can be very painful and they can remove the natural lines of the skin. Flat moles are differentiated from the distended ones by their shape. The surface of the mole is smooth and very small measuring only to a few millimetres. They commonly develop on children's skin and are mostly concentrated on the face, hands, and legs.

There are also hair-shaped moles, which are miniscule growths having the same colour of the skin and are generally located in the neck area. A healthy individual becomes infected when direly coming in direct contact with an infected individual. Sexual contact is one of the causes of its rapid spread. The virus is transmitted when it directly comes in contact with a traumatized area of the skin.

The infection can also be contracted by people using public pools or by people in some line of work, such as butchers, so sexual contact is not the only means of transmission of these viruses.

Individuals with multiple sex partners are at great risk of contracting these sexually transmitted diseases. It can also be transmitted by the mother to the baby. If the mother has genital growths, the baby could suffer from respiratory infections as it could possibly breathe in the virus during the birth process.

The sexually transmitted form of the virus is the usual cause of sexually transmitted disease. The development period, from time of exposure to the appearance of growth may vary from two to nine months. During this time, the infected individual can infect other people he or she comes in contact with. It will do you more harm than good to protect yourself before having any kind of sexual relationship with a new partner.
