This disease can be spread from a female patient to her baby during a vaginal delivery. The lesions that are typical of this disease appear near a female patient's vaginal opening. In male patients, the lesions appear on the tip of the penis or in the perianal area. The lesions are often treated with carbon dioxide laser treatments, electrocautery, or debridement.
