Medications for genital warts

Are there any medications to treat genital warts?

Yes, there are several but they all require a prescription. Podophyllum and podofilox are two, which are widely used. They are usually applied by the doctor. Cure rates are low if they are used alone. These products work best when combined with freezing therapy. You may need to undergo several treatments over many weeks. 

These medication should not be applied on normal skin; otherwise, you can cause severe pain and burning. Generally, the normal skin is first covered with Vaseline and the medication applied on the warts. It does take several months to get rid of the wart. Recurrences unfortunately, are common if you only use the topical medication.
