Genital warts may eventually develop a fleshy, small raised growth that looks like cauliflower. There is no way to predict whether the warts will grow or disappear. Therefore, if you suspect you have genital warts, you should be examined and treated, if necessary.

Depending on factors such as the size and location of the genital warts, a physician will offer you one of several ways to treat genital warts.

Prescription Medications for the Removal of Genital Warts are simply applied to the genital warts at different intervals until the genital warts disappear.

Additional Genital Wart Removal Options:

If you have small warts, the physician can remove them by freezing (cryosurgery), burning (electrocautery), or laser treatment. Occasionally, the physician will have to use surgery to remove large warts that have not responded to other treatment.

Some physicians use the antiviral drug alpha interferon, which they inject directly into the warts, to treat warts that have returned after removal by traditional means. The drug is expensive, however, and does not reduce the rate that the genital warts return.

Treatments that focus on emotional and psychological factors have been shown to be effective in reducing or eliminating outbreaks of warts

Genital Wart Research

Scientists are doing research on two types of HPV vaccines. One type would be used to prevent infection or disease (warts or pre-cancerous tissue changes). The other type would be used to treat cervical cancers. Researchers are testing both types of vaccines in people.
