Genital Warts Hpv

Your doctor will tell you that over the counter medications are not a good idea for treating genital warts. However, many people use these medications and say that they work. Doctors recommend against using these remedies not because they are ineffective, but because they are risky. These medications contain chemicals that can cause pain and damage to your genital area if not used properly. Dr. Scholl’s Wart Remover, Wart-Off, Compound W. and Freezone are all over the counter wart remedies that use a chemical called salicylic acid. Many people are allergic to this chemical. Also, it can be very harmful to people who suffer from diabetes or AIDS. You should always talk to your doctor before you use any of these products to treat your genital warts. If you have any irritation, itchiness or redness on the skin after using them, talk to your doctor immediately.
