What is the most effective treatment for genital warts?
The first course of action for many people with genital warts is topical medications. This type of treatment comes in either a gel or cream form and usually works by attacking and breaking down the wart tissue. Podophyllin is a particularly strong topical medication that needs to be applied at the doctor’s office. However, this is an older type of treatment and is not as widely used nowadays.
For those looking for some genital warts home treatment, you can ask your doctor to prescribe either podofilox (Condylox) or imiquimod (Aldara). Both of these topical medications you can apply yourself at home. However, if you are pregnant, it is not recommended that you use either podophyllin or podofilox as both can be absorbed by your skin and possibly cause birth defects in your child. Additionally, Aldara is designed to be used only on external genital warts.
It is also important to note that there is a difference between genital warts and regular warts. The strains of HPV that cause genital warts are different from those strains that cause warts on other parts of your body. Moreover, genital warts appear on areas of your body that are much more sensitive. Therefore, you should never use regular, over-the-counter wart treatments for genital warts.

The doctor has to remove them. You'll have to keep an eye on it and continue to go back to have them removed until they've kind of "run their course". Since you can't always spot them early, you need to make sure you wear a condom at all times so you do not expose a girl, thus setting her up for cervical cancer later.

Acyclovir and Valcyclovir are medications that are used to treat and prevent outbreaks of genital warts — both are relatively expensive, though . . . I think much worth the price, compared to the discomfort of the warts.
