**2.2 Dermatoscopy**

Warts can be visualised exceptionally well by dermoscopy, especially the black dots. Dermoscopy is also very useful in terms of differential diagnosis and follow-up [2].

### **2.3 Acetowhitening**

Genital/mucosal lesions remain undetected for a long time; not only that, all lesions may not be clinically evident at a time. Topical application of 3–5% of acetic acid for 3–5 min and followed by examination with 10X hand lens or colposcope is a reasonable accurate diagnostic tool. Lesions will be represented as tiny white papules. The routine use of this procedure to detect mucosal changes attributed to HPV infection is not recommended because the results do not influence clinical management.
