The main symptoms of flat warts in males include: 1. Skin papules: Patients develop slightly raised, round or oval papules on the skin, measuring from the size of a grain of rice to a small pea. These papules are typically skin-colored or grayish-brown, smooth-surfaced, and firm in texture. 2. Localized itching and pain: Some patients may experience mild itching or a pricking sensation, particularly when the condition is severe or the lesions are irritated. 3. Increase and spread of skin lesions: As the condition progresses, the papules may gradually increase in number and potentially spread to other areas such as the face, arms, backs of hands, upper arms, and neck. 4. Psychological impact: Although flat warts generally do not cause pain, they may cause psychological distress due to their effect on appearance. 5. Other symptoms: If the condition is severe or not treated promptly, symptoms such as redness, pain, and skin breakdown may also occur.
