Okay first you don't have "outbreaks" of genital warts. That term is usually referred to as in herpes outbreaks.
And second, yes you can get warts on your hands and feet. But these warts are from a different kind of HPV (the viruses that caused all these warts). So if you rubbed your genital area and then rub your hands or something together you can get warts on your hands but it is REALLY rare. If a person does have genital warts and needs to touch them for some reason, like to put medicine on them, ALWAYS wash your hands afterward. You can also get warts in your mouth and throat if someone gave oral sex to someone who has warts, but again this is VERY rare.

Genital warts are very contagious and are spread during oral, vaginal, or anal sex with an infected partner. They are transmitted by skin-to-skin contact during vaginal, anal, or (rarely) oral sex with someone who is infected. About two-thirds of people who have sexual contact with a partner with genital warts will develop warts, usually within 3 months of contact.
In women, the warts occur on the outside and inside of the vagina, on the opening to the uterus (cervix), or around the anus.
In men, genital warts are less common. If present, they usually are seen on the tip of the penis. They also may be found on the shaft of the penis, on the scrotum, or around the anus.
Rarely, genital warts also can develop in your mouth or throat if you have oral sex with an infected person.
Like many STIs, genital HPV infections often do not have signs and symptoms that can be seen or felt. One study sponsored by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) reported that almost half of women infected with HPV had no obvious symptoms. If you are infected but have no symptoms, you can still spread HPV to your sexual partner and/or develop complications from the virus.

No, genital warts are found only in "the boxer short area". Also HPV does not cause cervical cancer, some strains are linked to cervical cancer, there is a difference. If you get your pap's on a regular basis they can catch the cancer early.

Moles, warts, and skin tickets are normal epidermis lesions that develop naturally. Even though they are typically non cancerous, they can be uncomfortable if situated on an obvious part such as the face. Epidermis lesions like moles and warts cause self confidence problems to the sufferers. A person with moles normally turns into a loner because they do not wish to be seen in public. They feel ashamed to be out in public places, so despair can obviously follow but you will change all of this with this particular manual from here https://tr.im/pPOX3 , Moles, Warts and Skin Tags Removal eBook.

I don't think you can get genital warts on your arms, legs, or any other part of your body that does not have a mucous membrane. I know that they can spread within the vagina, to the anus, or in the mouth and throat. Hope this helps!
