The negative effect of genital and extragenital warts on adult patient quality of life (QoL) is well known; however, the literature lacks data on the effect of extragenital warts on Turkish pediatric patient QoL. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of extragenital warts that persist for ≥6 months on Turkish pediatric patient QoL, as well as to determine the relationship between patient demographic and clinical characteristics, and QoL.
