Self-applied treatments at home. Treatment at a doctor's surgery or medical clinic. To be successful you must identify and reach the warts, and follow the application instructions carefully. Podophyllotoxin solution contains purified podophyllin in a more standardised form. It should not be used during pregnancy.
Warts seem less likely to recur compared to other treatments.
Imiquimod is more effective for women than for men, probably because of differences in genital skin. It may cause burning and even ulceration as it clears up the warts. Although annoying, the treatment can usually be continued. Imiquimod is not currently recommended during pregnancy. Treatment at the clinic Cryotherapy with liquid nitrogen is effective for both dry and moist warts and can be used for external and internal warts.
