Condylomata lata is a skin condition characterized by wart-like lesions on the genitals.[1] They are painless, mucosal, and warty erosions which are flat, velvety, moist and broad base in nature. They tend to develop in warm, moist sites of the perineum.

They occur in one-third of people in the secondary phase of syphilis. They hold a high number of spirochetes and are highly infectious.

Complete resolution of the lesions is spontaneous and occurs after a few days to many weeks, where it is either resolved completely or enters the tertiary phase, defined by a latent state.[2][3]
