Usually the condylomata are more widely scattered over the vulva and surrounding parts. located on both labia. The initial lesion may be situated on any part of theexternal genitals, but it is found most commonly near the frenulum, the clitoris,and the inner surfaces of the labia minora. The lesions are apt to be associated with hard edema of the surrounding parts GENERAL INFLAMMATORY PROCESSES 227 and extensive erosions. Indolent buboes are felt in both groins, while latersecondary efflorescent manifestations follow.
