Green tea for genital warts


Recently I heard that an extract from green tea could be used to treat genital warts. Is this true?

Yes, there is a product called veregen. It is an extract from green tea and used as a topical treatment for genital and anal warts. So far, there is not much known about this product and I cant tell you if it works. 

It does have the same type of side effects as podophyllotoxin. It should never be applied inside any body orifice but just on the external surface. It is an expensive product and if money is an issue, go with podophyllotoxin or trichloroacetic acid. 

Almost always, newer products are many times more expensive and are no more effective than the older medications.
