Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about these genital warts that you have reported. I understand the need for treatment and of course, good treatment. There are several drugs and procedures used in the treatment of this condition. The choice and product is determined by the nature and extend of the warts. While some require minor surgical procedures, others are easily treated medically.

In order to make the right decision and provide the best treatment option to you, I would suggest that you get them examined by your doctor If this is not possible, an image of the lesions alongside a more detailed description may be able to help me make the right choice for you.

For now, let me hear from you before knowing what we would be doing next. You visiting a doctor or providing more information for me to prescribe an effective medication to you.

I wish you well. I hope to hear from you shortly.

Brief Answer:
Imiquimod and pophyllin

Detailed Answer:
I commonly prescribe Imiquimod (Aldara, Zyclara) or Podophyllin and podofilox (Condylox) to my clients for removal of warts. I will advice that you try as much as possible to prevent this product from irritating the surrounding skin. It would be best if some other person could help you to apply this drug to guarantee precision on exactly the warts.

I hope this helps and addresses your query fully. Feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be and I will gladly respond to.

What is the possible origin of these warts? Is your sexual partner healthy or contaminated as well?
