Genital warts


My doctor wants to treat my genital warts with trichloroacetic acid. Does it work?

Sometimes. This acid is less irritating and also has less toxicity compared to the other agents like podophyllotoxin. It has to be used many times, and even then, recurrences are common. If you are going to go with trichloroacetic acid, you need to combine it with freezing therapy. It is also the cheapest therapy and I do recommend it for genital warts.
