I would HIGHLY suggest seeing a doctor if you can. Every person is different. What works well for others, may not work well for you. There are several different ways a person can get rid of them.
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. I used Aldara for my warts and they went away in about 5 weeks. It worked great!
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.

HPV, or human papilloma virus, is not actually just one kind of virus- but more like an extended family of them, and they all make warts. There are antiviral drugs which can help your body fight them off, and in the case of external warts, in enough time your body will fight them off on it's own. The problem is that one wart can spread and lead to multiple warts, and you are exposing everyone you have sex with to them. Probably giving it to them, in all likelyhood. The other risk with HPV is that being female your cervix can be exposed and cause changes that will eventually lead to cervical cancer. The home remedies don't work, to put it bluntly. In the case of external warts, the doctor has a medication, usually podophyllin, that he/she applies to the warts to kill them at the source. The sooner it's killed, the sooner it goes away, and in the meantime, it isn't making any new little warts elsewhere. Neosporin is great for killing bacteria, but it doesn't do a thing to viruses. And HPV is a virus. Vitamins will make you nice and healthy overall, but they won't do anything to a virus either. If you think you have genital warts, the best thing to do is visit the gynecologist and have them treated correctly the first time, and have a culture to see if you have cervical HPV as well. With treatment, even cervical HPV can be surpressed and there is evidence the body will be able to fight it off eventually.

HPV is a virus so you can't "get rid" of it. You can have the warts removed and they may never come back, but once you have the virus, you have it. There is no cure at this time.

Treating HPV is often difficult and frustrating for both the patient and physician. Treatment of visible genital warts for the average patient often requires several treatments before symptoms subside. These treatments are not cures. After treatment the virus may remain in nearby skin and lie dormant for months or even years before becoming visible again, and in some cases visible warts never return.
According to the "1998 Guidelines for Treatment of Sexually Transmitted Diseases" published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta, GA, "In the absence of coexistent dysplasia, treatment is not recommended for subclinical genital HPV (without visible genital warts) diagnosed by Pap smear, colposcopy, biopsy, acetic acid soaking of genital skin or mucous membranes, or the detection of HPV (DNA or RNA). The diagnosis of subclinical genital HPV infection is often questionable, and no therapy has been identified to eradicate infection. HPV has been demonstrated in adjacent tissue after laser treatment of HPV-associated dysplasia and after attempts to eliminate subclinical HPV by extensive laser vaporization of the anogenital area. In the presence of coexistent dysplasia, management should be based on the grade of dysplasia."
The CDC recommends treatments of visible HPV genital warts that vary from patient-applied therapies such as podofilox and imiquimod to provider-administered therapies such as cryotherapy, podophyllin resin, trichloroacetic acid (TCA), bicholoracetic acid (BCA), interferon, and surgery.
