You are not to use OTC wart removes on genital warts. The genital area is too sensitive. I can see why you might want to though, such as if you can't afford the medicine or don't have insurance. It's scary, I know. But you have to see a doctor. Do not ignore the warts, they will spread. And you really don't want a wart infested genital area. It can get pretty ugly. Good luck :)

Over the counter medication like Compound W is used for common warts that are found on the hands, feet, elbows, knees, etc. It is not used for and NOT intended for genital warts. The medication is too strong for a sensitive area like the genital area.
You need to see a doctor as soon as you can. There are several different treatments and products that can be used to treat genital warts.
A doctor can prescribe a cream that the person can use at their convenience and at their home. Aldara cream and Condylox cream are available with a prescription.
If these creams don't work or the doctor doesn't want to try them, the doctor might suggest applying medication at the office. This is done by the doctor, is done in several visits and can be pretty expensive. Some of the medications that can be used include: Podophyllin resin (Podofin), Intralesional (injected into wart lesion) interferon, Fluorouracil (Efudex, Fluoroplex), and Trichloroacetic acid (TCA) or bichloroacetic acid (BCA).
A person can also have surgery to remove genital warts by freezing (cryosurgery), burning (electrocautery), or laser treatment. Surgery is occasionally used to remove large warts that have not responded to other treatment.
Although treatments can get rid of the warts, they do not get rid of HPV, so warts can recur after treatment.
Good luck!

Well...
this Male needs to go to the DOC
do you know why?
Genital Warts are Caused by Human Papiloma Virus
Also, have you notified anyone you have been with sexually that they have been exposed to Gential Warts/HPV???
NO OTC...... GO TO DOC
You could cause a girl to DIE from Cervical Cancer

GO TO DOCTOR

Genital warts cannot be taken care of over the counter. You must see a doc for a diagnosis and treatment. You must tell all potential partners that you have this STD and you must follow the care and treatment prescribed by your doctor.

The doctor is the only way to get help for this one. And remember Genital warts never ever go away! He will have recurrances forever and will always need to go to the doctor for treatment. They can freeze the warts off, encourage him to go to the doctor!!! ASAP
