Dr. Richard Zimon answered

Specializes in Internal Medicine

Urologists: probably see more genital warts however Dematologists are usually EXPERTS in sexually transmitted diseases...(it is said that this "expertise" resulted from the various SKIN manifestations of the "oldest" STD SYPHILIS which has NUMEROUS skin manifestations!! My suggestion is choose the expert recommended by your PCP (primary Care Provider) or a Friend/Family member! Hope this helps Dr Z

Hi! Good evening. I had genital warts and last February I already consulted a urologist. The doctor prescribed me to treat it with Aldara for a month. I was instructed to apply the med every night. I stopped because it started to have lesions?
