Answer

Hello,

 

Welcome to Just Answer and thanks for your question. Genital warts are caused by the HPV virus which remains in the body. You can see your doctor for one of the various methods of removal. There are creams and liquids that you can apply to irritate the warts so they die, or your doctor can use electrocautery, cryosurgery, or a scalpel to remove them. There is nothing that you can buy over the counter that will work. Even after they are removed, there is no guarantee that they will not come back.

Answer

TCA (trichloracetic acid) is the best topical treatment today. However, I prefer to use cryosurgery (freezing tehm off).
