How Can Anal Warts Be Completely Cured?
Question: I have anal warts and I would like to get rid of them. I have seen some products that say they can cause them to disappear. Are they helpful.
Brief Answer:
Apply Podofilox solution
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Topical treatments are available for the treatment of warts. Apply Podofilox (Brand name: Condylox) on the wart with an applicator.
An applicator is available with the solution. Apply twice daily for 3 days. Then do not apply for next 4 days (rest period). This cycle can be repeated 4 times.
If the warts have not gone within 4 cycles of treatment, then you will need more potent topical treatment like Podophyllin. More potent ointments need to be applied by a doctor as it has the potential to damage surrounding normal tissue also.
Hope this answers your question.
