Not yet: We do not yet have an antiviral medication to neutralize HPV viruses or to block their replication. Thus, the best one can do is get periodic check-ups and  follow-up with any important findings.

Accepted Answer

: There has been little or no research to answer the first question. And yes, not all genital bumps are warts. And some experts believe that wart tissue might be replaced by scar tissue. In that case, the bump may remain but it's no longer an active wart. It't best to have them treated, which usually is effective in getting rid of warts entirely.
