Hi there.....
I am Dr. Shiv & I I'll be answering your question....
Genital warts occurs due to human papilloma virus.
Usually it takes 6 months to 1 year to develop the immunity against virus.
Smoking and alcohol causes delayed development of immunity against the virus. So please stop smoking and drinking if you do.
You can take zinc tablet to boost your immunity...and if any new lesion appears then apply local cytotoxic agents like podophyllin resin under doctors supervision.
Nothing to worry about dear....
And practice safe intercourse.....


I hope this will be helpful For you.
