Re: genital warts

There are a number of treatments from gels and creams to cryotherapy (freezing) - the treatment choice depends upon the severity and type of warts. Your GP or local GUM clinic will be best placed to advised you.
The following NHS link gives further detail:

Re: genital warts

Hello there,

In addition to seeking out the advice of your doctor and looking at the resources already offered up here, you may be interested in reading an article I posted here on the blog at this website prior to the skin disorders clinic I was on the panel for a short while ago:

There is evidence enough to qualify hypnotherapy as 'probably efficacious' according to the criteria set out by Hollon and Chambless (1998) when looking at alternatives for treating warts. There is a remarkably high success rate with this application of hypnosis.

I expressly do not recommend it as an alternative, but as an adjunct to the advice and subsequent treatment given in NHS guidelines and that given to you by your doctor.

Though I'd always recommend you consult with a professional first and foremost, I did also post a self-hypnosis technique that is used in clinical practice with the treatment of warts, that you may find useful:

Most importantly, I hope you find the right solution going forward, with my very best wishes to you, Adam.
