class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They\u2019re called \u201ccauliflower\u201d because of their:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Lumpy, bumpy surface<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Whitish-gray or flesh-colored appearance<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tendency to cluster together<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These warts usually appear in the genital area, around the anus, or on
