How are HPV warts treated?

There are several treatment options for HPV genital warts, ranging from topical medications to surgical procedures. Each method has its own pros and cons and may have its own set of side effects. However, none of them can completely eliminate the virus—they remain in your body in a dormant state, so they can reappear when triggered even after treatment.

The most common treatment for HPV genital warts is topical medication, or drugs that are applied directly to the skin to remove the warts. These include imiquimod, podofilox, and trichloroacetic acid (TCA). Over-the-counter medications are also available, but these aren’t recommended as they can be harmful to sensitive genital tissues.

Homeopathic treatment

Homeopathic medicine can also be effective in treating HPV warts. Developed in the 1950s, homeopathy works on the belief that any condition can be treated by the same circumstances that caused it. For HPV warts, homeopathic remedies commonly use natural ingredients. One brand we’ve found to work is Wartrol, which uses a mix of herbal remedies designed to act on all symptoms of HPV genital warts.

Surgery

If HPV genital warts are large or don’t respond to treatments, they may have to be surgically removed. The oldest method is surgical excision, where the warts are simply sliced off. More refined methods have been developed in recent years, most notable cryotherapy. Cryotherapy involves repeatedly freezing the warts until they slough off, allowing a new layer to form on your skin.

What causes HPV warts?

HPV genital warts occur when certain strains of HPV infect the top layers of your genital skin. These strains are highly contagious and easily spread through sexual contact. HPV genital warts don’t always develop immediately after contracting the virus; you simply become a carrier and develop the warts when other factors trigger it.

HPV warts can also be spread orally, although the virus generally prefers the environment of genital tissues. You can also spread the warts from one part of your body to another. An infected mother can also pass HPV genital warts to her child during childbirth, although this is very rare.
