Unfortunately there are no over the counter or home remedies to get rid of genital warts. There is over the counter stuff to freeze them off, but this is NOT a good idea. These medications should only be used on warts such as hand and feet warts. If it is used on genital warts it can burn and irritate the skin even more.
If you have genital warts you'll need to go to a doctor and get medication. They can apply medication to you at the doctors office or they can give you a prescription for medication that you can apply at home. Aldara and Condylox are medications you can apply at home with a prescription from your doctor. I have personally tried Aldara and it works great. My genital warts were completely gone in a little over a month. It takes time, so you have to be patient!
If applying cream doesn't work you may need to have the warts surgically removed.
Good luck to you!

Some people are saying there is no home remedy for genital warts, maybe true if you are talking about eradicating the HPV virus, but not true in respect of getting rid of the actual wart.
I looked for alternatives to conventional treatments over a year ago and tried a couple of oils, advertised by companies with slick websites and testimonials, unfortunately they didn't work for me - maybe because I didn't pursue treatment for long enough or consistently enough, but I did use pretty much as advised for several weeks.
I did nothing about them until just over a month ago and decided to try apple cider vinegar (ACV), as a wart near the end of my penis was getting larger and I had 3 large warts on my anus ... apologies to the sensitive ones for terminology :-)
I decided to start with one of the largest ones on entrance to my butt, didn't want to take any risks up front without knowing what would happen!
Nothing much happened for 4 or 5 days, I would soak a small piece of cotton wool in ACV and then hold in place with a plaster, I did this each evening, removed it in the morning and then repeated again at night. The wart would be partially white in morning (ACV is essentially an acid, about 5% strength I think), after a few days the wart seemed a little more prominent and would sting when I applied ACV, then over next few days it started to shrink. After a couple of weeks it was much smaller, at this point it became almost painful applying ACV, but only for the initial 10 minutes or so, and it was tempting to stop. Then a few days later there was no trace left.
***Amazing ***
So I then tackled the other 2 smaller warts and the one up front! This is a 'work in progress' that is almost done, I just cut a small piece from a face cleanser pad and soak with ACV before putting at end of my penis and let the skin hold it in place ... if you're cut then guess it will be plaster time again! Again the results are truly amazing and I really didn't expect to get such a quick or satisfactory resolution to the problem. I obviously don't know about the long term, but guess that if I take more care about antioxidants/immune etc, then there is no reason for them to return ... a virus does not like a healthy oxygenated blood system. There is no scarring, the skin has just returned to normal.
Obviously if you try this out, be cautious as I was, make sure it is working for you. By the way I used the Bragg Apple Cider Vinegar, in case this has any significance to the results, I would suggest using the same, or otherwise at least using an organic/quality ACV.

No home cures. Try praying, cheap and painless and works as good as any medicine for genital warts.

The best thing is to go to a Dermatologist and he/she will put a thin spray of liquid nitrogen on each wart, and within a couple of weeks, they disappear. Be careful who you have sex with next time. This is a very contagious disease, but not dangerous if taken care of immediately. Any kind of acid will burn them off but I wouldn't recommend doing it yourself.
Don't be embarrassed by going to the Dr. They see this all the time and it means nothing to them.

There is no cure, but just for kicks, why don't you buy some of Dr. Shoals Freeze-a-way wart remover. Actually scratch that, you'll freeze your sack off.

Go to the doctor - He'll recommend u to some place where they will remove them. A long time ago I had a friend that had them removed - She said it was embarrasing, but she got it done and over with & they never came back.

there are no cures for genital herpes or warts, but you can try to suppress the number of break outs rub some mint leave on it it will help to dry them out or put some virgin olive oil on it
