In men, HPV manifests itself as painless, flesh-colored warts on the penis, groin, scrotum, thighs, and/or in and around the anus. These warts can be raised or flat, small or large, or single or multiple. They may itch, bleed, or cause pain. HPV can be treated via liquid nitrogen (they're frozen off), anti-wart chemical compounds, electrosurgery, laser therapy, or an antiviral drug interferon.
HPV can be spread via skin-on-skin contact during sexual activity. So grinding genitals together can spread HPV. Contact with infected towels or clothing can spread HPV as well. A condom can reduce the chances of spreading the virus.
