Is there anything I can purchase at my local drug or health store for treatment of what I think could possibly be genital warts?

Try applying Vitamin E and/or Tea Tree oil. There's information out there that points to these as very helpful in treating warts. Many of the treatments available online contain these ingredients.

Try jogging to the store - get some excercise! It is my reccomendation even to those who don't have HPV to get excercise, increase water intake, and supplement a healthy vegetable and fruit diet with a daily multivitamin. Quit smoking and drinking if you do that! I've heard of various herbs and vitamins available at grocery stores that some have had success with: Folic acid, Vitamin E, Zinc and/or Echinachea. I like to take a Cayenne supplement it improves circulation and it's my belief that this helps heal by greater oxygen delivery throughout the body.

I've gotten a small outbreak and am using aldara. I went to the beach and when I came back the little s.o.b.s looked alot better. Don't know if it was the salt water or the aldara.

First what you should do is go to your doctor and let him tell you if you do have genital warts or not. If not, then I'm sure he/she can prescribe a specific medicaiton to get rid of what you might have.

Do NOT go treating a wart unless you have been previously diagnosed with HPV by a doctor! What you have may not be a wart. Go to a doctor, and let him/her look at it first. Then you can treat the wart.

You should never use over the counter cures for warts near the sex organs because they can casue severe irritation. These treatments will get rid of the warts but you may not ever get rid of HPV itself. The virus may cause future outbreaks. Always talk to your doctor about your treatment and make sure you understand what to do and when to come back. The medicine Aldara can activate your immune system to kill the wart cells but not the virus.

Go to Walmart and get this Doctor Scholls one step plantar wart remover... It contains 40% salylic acid. Take the medicated pad and put it on your wart and cover it with a band aid. Dont use there band aid cause it will tear the skin when you remove it. Use this for about 2 weeks it will hurt slightly. It should take care of it. Use Neosporan as well. It says dont use on Genetial warts but I did and it worked alright.

I went to my doctor whenever I first spotted the little bumps (warts), and he precribed Aldara cream. (Imiquimod) I was cleared up in no time. However, more severe warts require other methods of removal. You should NEVER use over the counter wart removal products to remove a genital wart. For more information on Aldara cream (Imiquimod) and other treatment options, go to www.3m.com/aldara
