A member asked:

Will clotrimazole cream change the shape of genital warts and hard to identify? please help! is it something like salycilic acid?

Dr. Hunter Handsfield answered

Specializes in Infectious Disease

No effect: Clotrimazole doesn't affect genital warts. It is unrelated to salicylic acid or other treatments for warts. Any moisturizing cream might make warts temporarily softer, but otherwise no effect.
