Can putting alcohol on genital warts be bad?
5 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
Yes: Well, since they are called genital warts they appear on your genitals. Alcohol on these regions will cause burning and irritation, and will not cure the warts. They can be removed relatively easily by a physician with the right equipment.

It won't help: It will not help genital warts but can irritate genital area. Go to dermatologist, or urologist and they will take much better care of your warts than you will do with alcohol applications.

No: It will not be effective because there are other means of treatment for genital warts. But it will not cause any harm.
