Compound W.\nThere is also a new product on the market where you can freeze them off.  Uses similar treatment that doctors use.\n\nI've also heard that the duct tape thing works well.

There are many treatments that you could pursue, such as freezing the warts, having them lasered off, creams such as the one Nurse Annie mentioned, etc.  But to prevent future outbreaks, try arming yourself with a DAILY vitamin regiment (not just when you have an outbreak). Taking a good multivitamin (like Men's One-A-Day or Centrum), vitamin C (about 2,000 to 4,000 mg DAILY **), vitamin E, astragalus, garlic (comes in odorless pill form),echinacea, vitamin B complex (at least 50 mg of each form of B-vitamin 3x daily), and zinc tablets(sold as lozenges and liquid form) will help boost your immune system and keep breakouts from occuring frequently. All these are sold at health food stores,such as GNC, or drugstores. Also healthy living i.e. leafy greens, high fiber and protein, soluble fats, no trans fat, lots of water, low sugar and salt intake, exercising regularly, good amounts of rest...all of these things play an important role in your overall health and wellness and will ultimately help you to boost your immune system, which will help you fight infections and breakouts of warts.\n\n**The vitamin C should be taken throughout the course of the day, not at one time. You can take anywhere from 2,000 to 4,000 mg but you should only take as much as your body will allow. Start at 2,000 mg and gradually increase until you notice changes in your bowel movements (runny, diarrhea). Also get the vitamin C with ester. Ester helps your body absorb more of the vitamin, as vitamin C is water soluble and will be expelled in large quantity in your urine.

ok dude, guess what, that virus is called HPV..ask any doctor. the body is trying to push this virus out and so it creates a wart. i am using this stuff called "heal warts" i have just started usuing it really, it pulls the roots out and you can actually see the root. it is working. duct tape...doesnt work, if you freeze it, it will come back and sometimes in clusters. the band aids dont work, as you have already noticed. you have a virus, and these warts will come up on all different places of your body. you have to realize this is an STD. or! you could have got it from birth. thats all i have to say about that :) good luck

freeze em off with the help of a doctor...\n\nCryotherapy - otherwise known as freezing.  Liquid nitrogen is applied to the wart and the treatment is repeated at one or two week intervals.  Virtually painless, little in the way of scarring, but, unfortunately, the success rate is limited to around 70% .\n\nIt has worked for me though after the over the counter products failed.

Go to a dermatologist.  No home remedy will make those marks disappear.

Clinic treatment like cryotherapy (freeze the infected area), laser and loop electrosurgical excision procedure can effetely remove genital wart\n\n"Do not cut it yourself", those virus is deep down in your skin. Removeing the skin doesn't work at all

Stocko answers your question, but here's a suggestion:\n\nFirst, drink a six pack of room temperature, cheap beer.\nEat a pound and a half of prunes, followed by a large pot of the spiciest, nastiest bean chili you can find.\n\nIt won't help your warts, but it'll teach you what your anus is SUPPOSED to be used for.  How the heck did you catch warts down there?!?!?

Genital warts are a virus, called Human Papilloma Virus (HPV). There are over 230 different virus types that are considered HPV. \n\nYou need to see your doctor or gynecologist and have the test for HPV. Once a positive result is achieved, there are several ways to get rid of the warts. Keep in mind that the VIRUS itself never goes away, even if all of the warts are removed. An outbreak can happen at any time. Be sure and tell any sexual partners you may have in the future that you have warts, because they are contageous (obviously).\n\nUse of condoms during sex will prevent the spread of HPV. \n\nTypically, if the outbreak is small, the biopsy of the wart can remove it. If not, there is laser treatment. If that doesn't work, then your doctor can freeze them off.\n\nInbetween your test for HPV, biopsy, and a single given treatment, you will need to have a pap smear to determine the results. \n\nAfter you are wart-free for a full six months, your ob/gyn will go back to recommending a pap smear annually. \n\nGo to www.webmd.com for more information on what HPV is, how to test for it, and treatment options. Please visit your doctor, soon, though, because *some* of the HPV viruses (about 20, in fact) may lead to cervical cancer over time.

I wouldn't be using wart stuff on skin tags too strong! I have them too!I did have the D.A cut them off with a tiny pair of scissors doesn't hurt at all..she also told me she trims hers off by herself with scissors! She said I can do the same...sure it bleeds a bit but it can be done!!

Even thought it's costly, you need to go to a dermatologist. If anyone will know how to get rid of them for good he (or she) will. If you try to do it yourself you run the risk of infection. Good luck!

Unfortunatley, your best bet is to go see a doctor. Not only can they prescribe the best possible meds to get rid of the warts, they need to be aware that you have them. Remember, genital warts can cause cervical cancer! It's probably best that a doctor knows you have the condition. I know it's embarassing, but try and remember that they see this kind of thing all the time and they won't think any less of you.\nIf you want a good over the counter cure though, I suggest trying Zymaderm. You can't by it in stores, but they do have a website www.cbrmed.org and you can order it right off the site! It was originally developed for adults and children that were diagnosed w/molluscum contagiosum(a form of the HPV virus that causes genetial warts) My little one contracted these bumps from his daycare. I ordered the oil and used it on him for no more than 2 weeks..every one of his bumps were gone! On the website you can read user testimonials and even chat live with a Zymaderm rep and ask questions about it. It's all natural and had no side effects for me and my little one. It really does work. Plus, it much cheaper and less painful than the presciptions that the doctor will give you. \nPlease, talk to your doctor anyway though. It will be better for you in the long run. Hope this helps and good luck!

Finding A Plantar Wart Treatment -There must be a hundred different ways to treat plantar warts. It's best to start with the more conservative treatments and only move to the more aggressive treatments after the conservative ones fail. The best treatment for plantar warts, or any non-genital wart, may be no treatment at all. This is because up to 80% of non-genital warts disappear on their own within a year or two. However, if the plantar wart is too painful or if you are impatient, here are your options: \n\nOver-The-Counter Medications - There are surgical methods, topical methods and injections. The most cost effective and the most biologically effective method of treatment involves injecting viral antigens into the wart itself. \n\nNatural (and naturopathic) Medicines -These run the gamut. Herbal remedies have been created from many sources: aloe vera, garlic, a type of beetle, tea tree oil, goldenseal and from the bark of evergreen trees - just to name a few.\n\nHome Remedies - This is an area where the truly creative methods of curing warts come out. Some are effective, for instance duct tape , and some are not.\n\nOk, these are not medical reccomendations, but I have heard anecdotally that these home remedies may work:\n\nDuct Tape - Foot Wart, Plantar Warts Removal \nI didn't see this remedy on your website, but it truly works... My husband and I each have a few warts here and there. The ONLY thing that has worked to take warts away has been to use a piece of silver duct tape. You just need a piece big enough to stick over the wart. Keep it there all the time - changing the tape daily. I guess there is something in the duct tape that our systems don't like and so our immune system reacts to the site of the duct tape, thus reacting to the virus of the wart as well. \nWhen my doctor saw my warts on my foot (I was being treated for an ingrown toenail) she even suggested using duct tape. I have also read about the cure in a home-remedy book. It does take weeks to work and takes longer to work on plantar warts, but it works and it is simple and CHEAP! - S Jensen, May 28, 2004\n\nWart Removal - Duct Tape & Finger Nail Polish\nUse clear finger nail polish to cover warts. It stops them from breathing and they die within 2 weeks. This is why duct tape and other covers work. Finger nail polish is less noticeable and stays on longer. Please note that it doesn't kill the virus itself. - BLS, May 28, 2004 \n\nPotato Skin & Duct Tape Wart Removal\nCut into a potato skin and place a small piece over the affected area. Then wrap both the area and the potato skin in duct tape, keep it on for several days (5 - a week). Continue until warts have disappeared. - Ward, Alaska, June 22, 2004\n\nRemember:\navoid walking barefoot whenever possible - for example in a public locker room or shower \nchange shoes and socks daily \nkeep feet clean and dry \ncheck children's feet periodically \navoid direct contact with warts on other persons or on other parts of your own body \ndo not ignore growths on, or changes in, your skin \nvisit a podiatrist as part of your annual health checkup \n\nWhen To Call A Doctor - Let common sense guide you in your choice of treatment, but don't take any chances either. You should consult a physcian if any of these conditions exist: \nif you have any unusually shaped or darkly colored skin growths \nif the wart bleeds, hurts or is unusually large \nif the wart appears after age 45. This may indicate a more serious problem, like skin cancer. \nif the wart does not respond to self-treatment after three months\n\n\nGood Luck
