		<description>Aldara works well if used as directed.  

Sometimes a small one goes away by itself.  Don&#039;t let them start multiplying without doing something about.  More than one in the same area indicates a serious round.&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;References : &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description>

		<description>Untreated warts may resolve on their own, stay the same or enlarge. There is currently no cure or vaccine for genital warts. Treatment focuses on removing visible warts. However, even after visible warts are removed, the virus remains in your body and may cause outbreaks again in the future. Also, treatments may or may not decrease your risk of passing genital warts to someone else. 

Because treatment doesn&#039;t actually change the course of the infection, it&#039;s not necessarily required. To decide whether you want to have warts removed, talk with your doctor about the risks and benefits in your individual situation. 

IMPORTANT! If you are pregnant or planning to have a baby, you should talk with your doctor about getting treatment to avoid HPV-related complications and to avoid passing HPV to your baby. Also, make sure your doctor knows that you are pregnant before he or she prescribes medication for your warts; some medications for warts may cause birth defects. 

Don&#039;t attempt to get rid of genital warts with over-the-counter remedies. The genital area is too sensitive for these products and you could damage your skin. Instead, see your doctor, who may prescribe a medicine for you to apply to the warts or may administer one of a number of treatments himself or herself. Medicines that can be applied include podophyllin trichloroacetic acid (TCA) and podofilox (Condylox) which kills the wart tissue or imiquimod (Aldara), a cream that stimulates your immune system to fight the virus. Other options include freezing the warts with liquid nitrogen, cauterizing them with heat or a laser, or removing them surgically. Whatever method you and your doctor choose, you will probably need several treatments.&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;References : &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;WEBMD</description>

		<description>Treatment
Genital warts often disappear even without treatment. In other cases, they eventually may develop a fleshy, small raised growth that looks like cauliflower. There is no way to predict whether the warts will grow or disappear. Therefore, if you suspect you have genital warts, you should be examined and treated, if necessary.

Depending on factors such as the size and location of the genital warts, a doctor will offer you one of several ways to treat them.

Imiquimod, (Aldara®) a topical immune response cream which you can apply to the affected area 
A 20 percent podophyllin anti-mitotic solution, which you can apply to the affected area and later wash off 
A 0.5 percent podofilox solution, applied to the affected area but shouldn’t be washed off 
A 5 percent 5-fluorouracil cream 
Trichloroacetic acid (TCA) 
pulsed dye laser 
liquid nitrogen cryosurgery 
If you are pregnant, you should not use podophyllin or podofilox because they are absorbed by the skin and may cause birth defects in your baby. In addition, you should not use 5-fluorouracil cream if you are expecting.

If you have small warts, the doctor can remove them by freezing (cryosurgery), burning (electrocautery), or laser treatment. Occasionally, the doctor will have to use surgery to remove large warts that have not responded to other treatment.

Some doctors use the antiviral drug Alpha Interferon, which they inject directly into the warts, to treat warts that have returned after removal by traditional means. The drug is expensive, however, and does not reduce the rate that the genital warts return.

Although treatments can get rid of the warts, they do not get rid of the HPV virus, so warts can recur after treatment. However, the body&#039;s immune system typically clears the virus anywhere from 6 months to a year.[1] There is even some suggestion that effective treatment of the wart may aid the body&#039;s immune response. An effective HPV vaccine is currently undergoing a phase III FDA trial and appears nearly 100% effective against the most common types.&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;References : &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;http://wikipedia.com</description>
