How do I get rid of genital warts?

<p>For some people, <a href="/articles-and-videos/the-common-cold-of-the-sexually-active-world-hpv">genital warts will go away</a> on their own within 3 months. If the warts don't go away or you want them to go away faster, see your doctor or nurse. They may be able to treat the genital warts that day, usually by freezing the warts or applying a chemical to them. You can also get a prescription gel or liquid medicine that you use at home, usually clearing up the warts in a few weeks. All of these treatments get rid of the warts by irritating them, so be prepared for some discomfort.</p>
