Genital infection by Human Papillomavirus occurs 65% of the time after contact with contaminated skin and mucosa. Most people eliminate the virus through the immune system. Individual factors such as smoking, age, multiparity, prolonged use of hormonal contraceptives, sexual behavior, and infection by other Sexually Transmitted Diseases cause viral perpetuation and genital lesions, most of them asymptomatic. The most affected regions are anogenital. Treatment should be individualized. Excessive treatment can lead to scarring. We report a case of multiple treatments for removal of genital condyloma with consequent formation of extensive vulvar keloid.
