Answer 1

You can't. It's vira: Go see a doctor & get treated. Trying to get rid of warts without seeing a doctor is like asking the HPV virus to "be good" - it'll backfire on you. A good Gynecologist can prescribe treatment, which may include cryoablation or medication. Unfortunately, HPV is already in you; you can only control symptoms & it's spread to others. There is no PROVEN cure yet, though researchers are close.

Answer 2

Quite a few options: Some warts do disppear on their own, but unfortunately genital warts often don't. Otc such as compound-w/salicylic acid, or home remedies such as duct-tape, garlic juices may help. You can consult doc for better topical meds, or get removal done in office with liquid nitrogen or electrodessication. Some docs use carbon-lasers for severe cases. These do spread to others. Consult doc. Good luck.

Answer 3

Agree with Dr. N: In addition to the advice from Dr. N, get HPV vaccine to prevent infection with other HPV strains.

Answer 4

Treatment by Dr: Here is a helpful site that explains a lot about the condition. It is fairly common and usually can be kept under good control if not eradicated. Link: http://www.Plannedparenthood.Org/health-topics/stds-hiv-safer-sex/genital-warts-4268.Htm good luck!

Answer 5

Many choices: See your doctor --they can be treated with liquid nitrogen or topical anti-viral creams such as veregen (sinecatechins) or aldara.

Answer 6

Genital warts: There is patient applied: podofilox, imiquimod, and sinecatechins. There is provider administered: cryotherapy, podophyllin, surgery and trichloroacetic acid.

Answer 7

No but . . .: You might have more to get rid of if you wait. Go see your family doctor for treatment. It's really not difficult. If you don't have health insurance, search online for low cost, even free options. I've listed some possibilities on one of the webpages on my blog.

Answer 8

Yes: You run the risk of the warts enlarging and spreading- requiring more extensive treatment.

Answer 9

Aldara (imiquimod): Aldara (imiquimod) is a prescription medication that works well. It is applied three times a week and clears up warts in 4-6 weeks.

Answer 10

Warts without doctor: Warts are caused by a virus. The reason that everyone doesn't have warts is that their immune system recognizes the warts as abnormal and destroys them. The immune system in people who have warts does not recognize the wart as abnormal and does not destroy it. It is possible through hypnosis or suggestion to direct your immune system to destroy the warts. This has been proven experimentally and.
