Is there an effective over the counter treatment for genital warts?
No, you should go to the doctor and get them to give you a prescription for some topical medication (cream). Aldara and Condylox cream are available with a prescription from your doctor. You can get either one of these and apply it at your convenience at your home. I personally have used Aldara cream, and although it took about a month for the warts to completely go away, it worked great.
There are also creams the doctor can apply at the doctors office, or if they are really bad you may need to have them removed with surgery (burned, frozen, lasered).
You should NOT use any over the counter products for genital warts. These medications are for hand and feet warts, not genital warts. If this medication is applied to genital warts it can irritate and burn the skin because it is so sensitive.
Good luck!

NO, but you can get effective home treatments on prescription - Aldara is possibly one of the best.

not really, there aren't any prescriptives either. Suggest you see the doctor for most recent treatments, most of which are costly and some which are quite painful. Aren't STDs wonderful?

You must see a doctor. You cannot treat this condition yourself, and it leads to other, bad things. You will be sorry if you wait.

Personal experience. I have had HPV for over 5 years. I have had genital warts and cervical cancer from it. I'm also a pharmacy technician for a hospital.

Condoms, you can opt to use condoms for 6 months and do not have oral sex. Usually if the immune system is strong enough the warts will go away, but sometimes you need more invasive treatment like laser surgery or acid removal of the warts. You need to go to the doctor even its your local board of health. You can go to the board of health anonymously, even if you are under 18, and you can be a girl or boy. You really should have a medical doctor check you out….
