Warts Groin Treatment

Warts that grow on groins are specifically related to genital warts. The strains of warts that grow on the groin are totally different from the ones that grow on any other part of the body. The warts that grow on groins have a way of leading to bleeding and intense itching. They are also mostly as a result of sexual intercourse. Because of this, they are related to sexually transmitted infections. They too are however caused by the human papillomavirus.

Warts Groin Treatment
Salicylic acid preparations are available over-the-counter lotions or creams and when applied on the warts are known to reduce the size of the wart and at times complete removal. Before applying the salicylic acid preparation, the wart should be soaked in warm water to soften it. Then, it must be rubbed with pumice stone, pat dried and then apply the preparation. Preferably after such an application, the wart must be covered with a tape. This procedure may be required to be repeated daily for a minimum of twelve weeks for complete resolution.


Laser surgery may be done in a doctor's office or clinic, a hospital, or an outpatient surgery center. In studies, laser surgery removed warts in about 40 out of 100 people. But warts may return after surgery. Doctors usually use laser surgery for genital warts after other treatments have failed. Laser surgery for the treatment of genital warts is more expensive than many other treatment methods. The benefits and effectiveness of each type of treatment need to be compared with the side effects and cost. Discuss this with your doctor.
