Getting rid of HPV genital warts…?
Hello,
I need some tips or ideas for an over the counter methods. Whatever I can do to contain/be rid of em without having to cut into and/or freeze or burn my penis ![]()
Thank you!!
I was unaware that it could transmit through a condom.. wow. I’m glad this just came up and I’ve been on top of it right away. thank you.
I have been to the Dr. and her process was to burn it,, ouch! So i hope to find a less painless and over the counter method that is effective. (signs of the times when you have no job, no insurance) trying to keep that $ low, hence the over the counter stuff if possible.

You can’t get rid of it. It’s a virus and sometimes your immune system can fight it off. Go see a Doc. Remember you can give it to women even when you use a condom, and it can cause cancer for women.

You should have a doctor burn them off. You won’t get the roots to them and only create more or "clusters" and you’ll have more problems. There is no "over the counter meds for these" so, see your doc.

A number of treatments — applied at home or performed by a doctor — are available to remove warts. These treatments appear to reduce the concentration of HPV, but they don’t eliminate the virus. For example, even though you may have genital warts removed, you can still transmit HPV to a sexual partner.
Genital warts
Treatments for genital warts include:
* Imiquimod (Aldara), a prescription medication applied as a cream that may enhance your immune system’s ability to fight HPV
* Podofilox (Condylox), also applied as a cream, which may destroy the genital wart tissue
* Trichloroacetic acid, a chemical treatment that burns off genital warts
* Freezing with liquid nitrogen (cryotherapy)
* Electrocautery, which uses an electrical current to burn off warts
* Surgical removal
* Laser surgery
Treatments for high-grade pre-malignant lesions
Your doctor will most likely not treat low-grade pre-malignant lesions, because they’re likely to go away on their own and not develop into cancer. However, you’ll need to return for follow-up Pap tests to make sure the problem has resolved.
Your doctor will most likely recommend removal of high-grade pre-malignant lesions, because they may develop into cancerous tumors. Treatments may include:
* Surgical removal
* Laser surgery
* Cryotherapy
* Electrocauter
Genital warts and related lesions
You can reduce your risk of developing genital warts and other HPV-related genital lesions by:
* Being in a mutually monogamous sexual relationship
* Reducing your number of sex partners
* Using a latex condom, which may prevent some but not all HPV transmission
Two vaccines — Gardasil and Cervarix — are available to prevent HPV infections of types 16 and 18, which cause most cervical cancers. Gardasil also prevents HPV infections of types 6 and 11, which cause most genital warts in females and males. Ideally, adolescents should receive HPV vaccine before becoming sexually active.
Gardasil and Cervarix are available for girls and women between ages 9 and 26. Either vaccine is recommended as part of the regular immunization regimen for girls at age 11 or 12. Both are given as a series of three injections over a six-month period.
Gardasil is also available for boys and men between ages 9 and 26. To help prevent genital warts, boys may receive a three-dose series of vaccine between ages 9 and 18.
Common warts
It’s difficult to prevent HPV infections that cause common warts. If you have a common wart, you can prevent the spread of the infection and formation of new warts by not picking at a wart and not biting your nails.
Plantar warts
You may reduce the risk of contracting HPV infections that cause plantar warts by keeping your feet clean and dry, wearing clean socks, and wearing shoes or sandals in public pools and locker rooms.

There is no over the counter medications to get rid of warts.

You Sir, are an illiterate baboon. I say that so that you know what it means. Don’t ask on the internet – go see your doctor
