A member asked:
Are there any effective ways to remove genital warts at home?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No: There are no safe remedies. The over-the-counter medications for treating warts are not designed to accomodate the delicate genital tissue or the moist environment present there. The treatments can cause severe burning and/or rash to treated genitals.

No: Removal of genital warts should be left to your physician. Don't be tempted to do-it-yourself with over-the-counter remedies as these are not designed for genital tissue.
