Genital warts are similar in appearance occasionally to several other things. Herpes can often be mistaken for warts in their initial stages. Also, many other STDs and rashes that can appear on the genitals, including ingrown hairs, can be mistaken for genital warts and other STDs.
If you have bumps on your genitalia that resemble warts or any other type of STD, see your doctor. They can do a test and give you an exact answer, and usually offer some sort of treatment.
