Symptoms of HPV infection

When you are infected with HPV, the most common symptom is a wart at the site of infection, but some infections do not show symptoms. High-risk HPV infections usually have no symptoms. However, over the years, these infections can lead to precancerous changes and cancers, which may cause symptoms such as lumps, bleeding, and pain, depending on the site of infection.
Genital warts: small bumps or cauliflower-shaped condylar warts on the vulva, anus, cervix, or penis. They may itch or feel tender.
Common warts: rough bumps on the hands and fingers. They may be painful.
Plantar warts: hard growths on the heels or soles of the feet that can cause discomfort.
Flat warts: Flat or slightly raised lesions that appear on the skin of the face, beard area, or legs.
