Genital Warts are due to human papillomavirus (HPV). They are a very common problem and are seen frequently in Omaha dermatology clinics.  Patients are often quite upset when diagnosed with genital warts (aka condyloma acuminata). This is because they may feel both distressed and embarrassed by their condition.  Much of this has to do with the apparent stigma of feeling labeled as having what was previously referred to as a sexually transmitted disease (STD). Now such conditions are referred to as sexually transmitted infections (STI).

Most of the cases we see are in individuals over 50 to 60 years of age.  Because this is so common, we wanted to prepare this information with details about why easy bruising & thin skin occur and what to do about it.

Most of the time, eczema is at its worst in the winter. Yet in some cases in hot weather when the body temperatures soar, eczema may be worse for certain people. There are several reasons for this.

Usually this is not the case, but a small number of patients will experience flaring of their eczema when exposed to ultraviolet light through any source, particularly sunlight.
