Genital warts are growths on the skin of the genital area and around the
anus. They are caused by certain types of the human papilloma virus (HPV).Most
genital warts are caused by one of two types of HPV — types 6 and 11. Genital
warts can appear in the mouth or genital area — thevulva, vagina, cervix,
rectum, anus, penis, or scrotum. They are passed from one person to another by
skin-to-skin contact, usually during sex play.
Topical solutions for genital warts
Topical remedies can affect everyone differently. There is no doubt that it's
likely you'll have to try different brands because you gets no other effect.
Podophyllotoxin is a topical solution for genital warts which can dissolve warts. Also,
Imiquimod is a wart therapy that causes stimulation of the immune system to
combat the infection. Some doctors may also recommend creams-tea-extract-based
green. These types of ointments are ideal for external warts that occur in a
person's anus or genitals.
Surgery
You may need surgery to remove larger warts, warts that don't respond to
medications, or — if you're pregnant — warts that your baby may be exposed to
during delivery. Surgical options include:
Freezing with liquid nitrogen (cryotherapy). Freezing works by causing a
blister to form around your wart. As your skin heals, the lesions slough off,
allowing new skin to appear. You may need repeated cryotherapy treatments.
Electrocautery. This procedure uses an electrical current to burn off
warts.
Surgical excision. Your doctor may use special tools to cut off warts. You'll
need local anesthesia for this treatment.
Laser treatments. This approach, which uses an intense beam of light, can be
expensive and is usually reserved for very extensive and tough-to-treat
warts.
