Diagnosis: Verruca plana
Comment: We see verruca vulgaris and condyloma usually in these site.
25 yo woman
Verruca plana is not common. This lady was in the habit of shaving her pubic hairs which has resulted in spread and persistence of lesions.
Topical 5% imiqumod should help if used with caution.
Question: What do the members feel would be the management strategy?
