Hello
Thanks for the query.
Gential warts are best treated with podiphyllin application.
It is a liquid which has to be applied once a week for 4 weeks. It gives high cure rates but should be applied only by a dermatologist as spillage of liquid may cause burns.let me know if you have any other doubts.
