any chance it could be genital warts?

[Alan Rockoff, MD]

A growth usually refers to a bump of some sort.  A rash usually means a red, dry, pimply, or scaly patch.  Either way, if it just came up in a few weeks, it's not likely ot be anything serious.  The only way to find out what it is is to haev a doctor see it in person.  That's what you should do.

Best.
