Human Papilloma Virus (HPV)

A doctor should always examine warts on the face, genitals and anus. In some cases, the doctor will prescribe a medication such as podofilox (Condylox) or imiquimod (Aldara), which you can apply to the wart yourself. In other cases, you doctor will use an office-based treatment, such as:

• Surgical removal

• Cryotherapy (freezing)

• Application of strong medications, such as acids or podophyllum (Podofin, Podocon-25), to the skin

• Interferon injections

• Laser therapy

Several office visits may be necessary to complete your treatment.
