What is the best way to treat genital warts before going to see a doctor? they are itchy and irritating. i read apple cider vinegar, but do not know if that is true. can you work out with or does that increase the chance of spreading?

Genital wart Rx: It's best not to self treat without seeing a doctor first. No over-the-counter treatments have been studied for their benefits for genital warts, and none are as reliable as prescription medications or treatments provided in the clinic (e.g. freezing, laser cautery). Vinegar of any kind is totally ineffective but this or OTC treatments might make diagnosis harder when you see someone. Don't do it.
