Genital warts (HPV)

Worried about bumps? Seek treatment.


Genital warts are a common sexually transmitted infection (STI) caused by certain strains of the human papillomavirus (HPV). These warts are small, flesh-colored or gray swellings in the genital area. They can appear as a single wart or in clusters, resembling a cauliflower. While genital warts themselves are not dangerous, the virus that causes them can be associated with a higher risk of certain types of cancers. 


Treatment options include topical medications, cryotherapy (freezing the warts off), and in some cases, surgical removal. 


Mahalo offers a discreet way to consult with healthcare providers about genital warts. Through virtual consultations, you can discuss your symptoms and concerns, receive a diagnosis, and explore treatment options tailored to your condition. This service enables you to seek advice and treatment for genital warts, ensuring your privacy and comfort while managing this condition from your home.

Precautions


  • Keep the affected area clean and dry. Gently wash the area with mild soap and water and pat dry. Moist environments can promote the growth of warts.
  • Boost your immune system. A healthy immune system can fight off the virus better and possibly reduce the frequency of wart outbreaks. Focus on a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, get regular exercise, and ensure you're getting enough sleep.
  • Avoid picking or scratching at the warts. This can lead to further irritation, potential scarring, and the spread of the virus to other parts of your body or to other people.
 

Common Medications


  • Topical treatments such as Imiquimod cream (Aldara), Podophyllin resin Podofilox solution or gel (Condylox)
  • Prescription medications such as Fluorouracil cream (5-FU)
