No Use duct tape. It sounds stupid but I swear it works. Wash the wart with soap and water, then put the duct tape on it. Put a piece just big enough to cover the wart on it, then cover it with a band aid just to hide it. Rotate 9 hours on, 3 hours off around the clock. It should be gone in a week.

It's not a good idea to use commercial wart remove on genital warts. And yes, much as you don't like that idea- that's what you have. The virus family that causes warts is a large one, and each member of the family likes a particular spot on the body. Genital just means that's where they are located- not the strain, or member of the family that caused them. You will need a doctor's help to remove them safely. The doctor will most likely use a liquid called podophyllin to remove them. It may take a couple of treatments, but it is the safest way to go about this. In the meantime, yes- your warts are contagious and you should not have sex with your girlfriend until they are cleared off. Then, to be safest for your girlfriend, you need to be sure to tell her and to wear a condom. Depending on what strain of HPV you have, you could give her cervical HPV. That's not a problem for you, but it could be a big problem for her. Be a nice guy, and get treated and clear first. Then wear a condom, and tell her.

A friend of mine from India swears that if you cut a tiny x on top of the wart (painful I am sure) be careful. and sprinkle a few grains of Tide soap in it it will go away, Mark Twain advocated a split bean. I dont know if either of these work good luck

Freezing does work but it hurts. My mother swears by the old potato remedy. Take a potato and cut it in half. Rub one half on the wart and bury the other under your front step. Sounds dumb but it is supposed to work painlessly. Good luck!
