Does Wartrin Help In Treating Genital Warts?

Posted on Wed, 5 Aug 2015

Question: Is it true Wartrin will work for genital warts?

Answered by Dr. Dr. Kakkar (24 minutes later)

Brief Answer:
Wartrin is not for genital warts

Detailed Answer:
Hello. Thank you for writing to us

I have taken note of your query and I have understood your concern.

Wartrin contains salicylic acid and is not meant to be used on delicate skin of genitalia. It can cause severe irritation and pain.

It is better suited for plantar warts Or common warts but not for genital warts.

The best way to treat genital warts is either by freezing, CO 2 Laser vaporization, Radiofrequency cautery ablation Or Podophylotoxin resin Or podofilox 0.5% gel/ solution Or imiquimod 5% cream.

I suggest that you visit a dermatologist in your vicinity for the needful.
