I have used tea tree oil (Melaleuca alternifolia) in and on my body as an anti-microbial agent, with positive results, without harmful effects, for many years.  It is important to use 100% pure therapeutic grade oil.  There are products commonly available which are not 100% pure, and the additives are the harmful components.  If you want accurate information on tea tree oil, the following link on HerbMed is loaded with information and links:  http://www.herbmed.org/Herbs/Herb105.htm\nGood luck with your project!

Remedies\n\nFolk:\n\nAloe Soak a small piece of cotton in aloe gel and tape over the wart. Add more gel every three hours with an eye dropper. Change cotton daily. The wart should begin to dry up in a few days and in a few weeks may disappear.\n\nApple cider vinegar (ACV)  Soak your wart in warm water for twenty minutes; dry thoroughly; apply full strength apple cider vinegar with a cotton ball and leave on for ten minutes; wash off with tepid water; dry. \n\n•Another way to use ACV is to keep a plastic container with a lid in the bathroom with enough ACV to cover your foot. After each shower (or daily, if you can), dip your foot with the plantar wart in the container. Place a towel on the floor to dry your foot off after the vinegar bath. Don't rinse the vinegar off. Our reader said the pain from the wart disappeared after one bath, and, over a period of several weeks the warts got smaller, turned dark, and disappeared. As a side benefit she said the skin on her feet turned pink and smooth, like a baby's. She had tried everything over a period of 15 years, including surgery, nitrogen, creams and ultrasound, but no luck. For her this remedy worked wonders. Courtesy Rebecca Leighton Katers.\n\nAshes Apply wood ashes to the wart.\n\nAspirin Dissolve a regular aspirin with a small drop of water and apply to the wart; cover with a Band-Aid®; repeat twice daily. If this method irritates the skin around the wart, apply some Vaseline around the area with a Q-tip®.\n\nBaking soda Rub the wart three times daily with a solution of baking soda and water.\n\nBanana Take a ripe banana peel and cut a piece and apply the pulp side to the affected area and tape securely. Leave the peel on except when bathing, changing daily. This remedy may take several months, but has been effective in getting rid of stubborn plantar warts. Other sources suggest using an unripe banana, as certain healing compounds are more concentrated in the peels before they ripen.\n\nCashews Rub a cashew on the wart several times a day. Another remedy is to chew the cashew and take a small amount of the mixture and place it on the wart. One reader stated that he had used this remedy to get rid of a wart he had had for 25 years. It took 2-3 weeks for the wart to disappear.\n\nCastor oil Apply castor oil to the wart and rub twenty times or so with your finger. Do this at night and in the morning. The wart should disappear in three to four weeks. \n\n• Another castor oil remedy is to apply a half drop of oil to the wart twice daily and cover the wart with some form of first aid tape or bandage. Keep the bandage on 24 hours a day for three weeks, removing only to put on a new one.\n\n• Another variation is to touch the wart with a toothpick soaked in castor oil. (See vitamin A remedy below.)\n\nChalk Rub the wart daily with a piece of white chalk.\n\nDandelion Break open the stem of a dandelion and rub the milky sap on the warts in a circular motion. Do this two or three times a day until the wart disappears. This was the favorite remedy of Will Greer, Grandpa Walton on the TV show "The Waltons."\n\nGlue Apply Elmer's® glue to the affected area. Leave on as long as it stays; scrape off and reapply.\n\nGarlic Dice some garlic and rub on the wart.\n\nGrapefruit seed extract This extract is a powerful all-around antimicrobial product and is an excellent disinfectant. Apply a drop directly to the wart and cover with a Band-Aid®; repeat twice daily. The wart will turn white and fall off in about a week. See our Product.\n\nHydrogen peroxide Dab 35% (food grade) hydrogen peroxide on the warts with a cotton ball or Q-tip®. Hydrogen peroxide can burn your skin, so be very careful when applying it.\n\nIodine Apply iodine daily.\n\nLemon juice Apply lemon juice to the wart and rub in gently. Repeat two or three times daily.\n\nLiver, desiccated Take three tablets three times daily. This supplement is rich in B-vitamins and sulfur.\n\nMilkweed Apply milk

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!

There is no treatment available over the counter for genital warts.  Please don't use any old wart tincture - it won't work.\n\nYou need to see your GP or STD clinic.  The most common treatment is to freeze them off with liquid nitrogen.\n\nThey are highly contagious so you'd be wise to avoid sexual contact till you get the all clear - unless you want a miffed off partner.

Hi There\n\nThere are always other options besides a medical doctor. Here are some ideas to use to heal the condition.\n\nCauses\nWarts are caused by any of 35 viruses and are often a consequence of poor diet and nutrition, poor hygiene, and, in the cases of genital warts, unprotected sex. Warts also become more common as a consequence of aging with corresponding diminished immune function.\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\nNatural Cures\n\nNote: Natural healing of warts may require one to two months of care, with the wart disappearing suddenly in one to three days.\n\nAromatherapy: Lemon essential oil applied topically can speed healing. Thuja oil is also effective for dealing with warts.\n\nDiet: Eat an organic, whole foods diet, emphasizing foods that are high in vitamin A, such as dark green and yellow vegetables, cold-water fish, eggs, and sulfur, such as onions, garlic, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, and broccoli. Avoid all refined and processed foods, sugar, unhealthy fats, and excess animal proteins, as well as milk and dairy products.\n\nHerbs: Apply the milky latex from the stem of dandelions to the wart each morning and night. \n\nHomeopathy: Useful homeopathic remedies include Thuja, Causticum, Calc carb., Ruta grav., and Graphites. \n\nNutritional Supplementation: Recommended nutrients include vitamin A, beta carotene, vitamin B complex, vitamin C, vitamin E, zinc, garlic capsules, and L-cysteine. \n\nTopical Treatment: A solution of garlic oil, vitamin E, castor oil, and zinc oxide cream can be applied topically to warts.\n\nAlternative Professional Care\nIf your symptoms persist despite the above measures, seek the help of a qualified health professional. The following professional care therapies have all been shown to be useful for treating warts: Naturopathic Medicine, Orthomolecular Medicine, and Traditional Chinese Medicine.\n\nBest of health to you

No, any sort of sexual contact with the warts will do it, even sharing a bath towel, though that would be unusual.  \nThis site has lots of great information.  Remember, knowledge is power!

I recommend Cryosurgery as it worked for me!   \n\n"Treatments that may be prescribed by a medical professional include:\n\nImiquimod, a topical cream that helps the body's immune system fight the wart virus by encouraging interferon production \n\nCandida injections at the site of the wart, which also stimulate the body's immune system\n \nCryosurgery, which involves freezing the wart, after which the wart and surrounding dead skin falls off by itself. \n\nCryosurgery followed by surgically removing the infected spot. \n\nTreatment with chemical compounds, containing salicylic acid, blistering agents, immune system modifiers, or Formaldehyde \n\nLaser treatment \n\nNone of these treatments are very effective on single uses; the wart often returns after the skin has healed from the treatment, but repeated treatment should get rid of the wart permanently. As they disappear after a few months and maximally a few years, treatment is necessary only if the lesions are painful or are a cosmetic problem."

Genital warts can be treated but not prevented. They are very contagious and you should see a doctor. Because they could cause you to have all kinds of female problems including cancer if not controlled. I know this because a family member has them.n Please let everyone you have sex with know that you have them it is something serious.

My dad is a colo-rectal surgeon and made me work there 5 years. I'm not in the medical field and you should see your Dr. On fridays, b 4 freezing, we had wart-burning day and it stank. No, I'm not kidding. A genital wart usually looks like a tiny cauliflower and doesn't have pus in it like a pimple does. Also, it is harder. It comes off in one piece, like a wart and unlike pimple if the patient tries to dig it out themselves. You asked!!!!

Go to your local chemist's shop. They should have something effective against warts.
