No. You really should see a doctor if you have 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. The body's immune system typically clears the virus anywhere from 8 to 13 months, but it occasionally remains in the body for a lifetime.

Short answer, no. It's not a big deal for the doctor to treat, really. He can either paint on a solution to kill them, or freeze them off with liquid nitrogen, depending on their location and your pain tolerance. While there are remedies available for the common wart on your fingers or elsewhere, you really don't want to be putting that in such a sensitive spot. The doctor isn't going to fall over laughing or horrified to see them. They are very common, unfortunately. You will be asked to inform all your contacts, though, as there is a lady out there somewhere who needs treating as well. If it's cost that worries you, then seek out a planned parenthood clinic or local health clinic for treatment. But don't try home cures, they usually just make matters worse.

Not safely. I mean their are folk remedies but why would you not see a doctor? The can and do spread quite rapidly. I knew a guy that contracted some when I was in the Marine Corps and good God man it wound up looking like a cluster of grapes before it was taken care of and it made hi sterile. Do not continue this behavior go see a doctor now.

Nope. So many people have them now a days that it isn't a big deal. If you want to remain anonymous just go to a planned parenthood and use a fake name. Don't feel too bad, like I said hpv is the most common std out there. Good Luck!!

No,
I had them once and thought they would just go away but they dont, you can get some cream prescribed but i found it useless, had to have mine frozen off!
It hurts like hell but after its dont they are gone for good.
Hope this helps.

You cannot get rid of them even if you see a doctor you will have them for the rest of your life. Sorry you should have played it safer.

Nope, and you won't "get rid" of them . It's a virus, you have it for LIFE. Best you can hope for is control of your symptoms at this time. Please use a condom and don't spread it to anyone else.
