Suggest Treatment For Genital Warts

Hi i think i ve contracted genital warts about 5 months ago.. My warts aren t enormous, and i have been sort of cutting them off with my finger nails which seems to get rid of them temporarily. I know there s no cure, but what would you recommend be the best way to keep warts out of my life?

Hello,
Thanks for writing here.

First of all i will request you not to cut genital warts with finger nails.This will cause more contamination to your nails instead of cure.There are many treatment options available like podophyllin,immiquad cream,liquid nitrogen application etc.Podowart lotion is cheap but effective method.Due care is required for application otherwise it can lead to burns.Avoid sex with multiple partners.Always use protection.It will also be better if you check your immunity status.

Hope this will help you.Take care.
