Warts on vulva


What treatment do you recommend for warts on my vulva? I am a 23-year-old female.

If you are not pregnant, the best treatment is podofilox. Do not confuse this with podophyllotix, which is no longer available in the USA. Podofilon is available as a gel or a solution and applied twice a day for 3 days. Most people need treatment for several weeks. You must cover the surrounding skin with a lubricant oil to prevent irritation from the drug. Side effects are common which include pain and burning sensation. The medication can be applied at home. The downside: it is quite expensive and there is 20% chance of recurrence.
