Three Reasons Why You Should Avoid Treating Genital Warts using Over-the-Counter Warts Products!

When many people find out that they have genital warts, it is not uncommon for them to flip out. It can be devastating to find out that you have an STD of any kind, much less something like the HPV virus, or Genital human papillomavirus, that there currently is no cure for genital warts, only treatment options. Many people, embarrassed by their situation, decide to try some over-the-counter warts treatment options for their genital warts, which is a BIG MISTAKE! To better help you to understand why you should NEVER use wart treatment products that you can find at the grocery store on genital warts, here are three very important reasons!

1. The warts treatment products you find at the store are not made to kill genital warts, they are made to treat planter warts and other warts. Most of the time they contain harsh chemicals that can severely or permanently damage the delicate skin around these sensitive areas. NEVER USE THESE CHEMICALS. Always consult with a doctor if you think that you have HPV.

2. Freezing products that freeze away warts sold at the grocery store contain different chemicals than the freezing products your doctor would use. If you use these, you could misapply them, and burn or damage surrounding areas of skin, or worse, cause permanent damage and scarring!

3. Many times, most of these over-the-counter warts products need to be applied in several treatments just to treat normal warts, and many times they still don’t work to remove the warts.

So what are your options? You should first see your doctor and confirm that you have Genital human papillomavirus. Then you can decide whether or not you wish to pursue a natural remedy for HPV or if you wish to choose conventional treatment options.
