HPV is the virus that causes common warts and genital warts. The virus
infects the top layers of your skin. Many people infected with HPV have no
symptoms and no warts, but they are still contagious.
CAN GENITAL WARTS BE "CURED"?
Genital warts can be treated, and probably cured in some cases. A “cure”
means that the virus is gone. There is no reliable way to determine whether or
not the HPV virus is gone. Treatments are effective at getting rid of the
visible warts, but the virus may persist in the skin, and cause new warts to
develop months or years later.
Wash your hands thoroughly with antibacterial soap and warm water, then wash
the area affected by the warts. Dry with a clean towel.
Dampen a cotton ball or a piece of cotton gauze with some apple cider
vinegar. The cotton should be thoroughly wet, but not dripping.
Place the vinegar-soaked cotton ball on the wart, making sure it is
completely covered. Secure the cotton with a piece of medical tape and allow it
to sit overnight. It is normal to experience some pain after applying apple
cider vinegar to a wart. If you have multiple warts, you can apply
vinegar-soaked cotton to all of them at once or choose to treat them at separate
times.
Remove the cotton and wash the area thoroughly using antibacterial soap and
warm water. Reapply vinegar-soaked cotton each night until the wart is
completely gone.

How to treat Genital Warts
If you have genital warts, you'll be relieved to know that outbreaks are
treatable. The warts are caused by HPV (human papilloma virus), a highly
contagious sexually transmitted disease that infects the skin.
Genital warts look like raised, flesh-colored bumps. They can be tiny and
invisible to the naked eye, or they can appear in large clusters. If you develop
genital warts, you should have them treated right away, because an untreated
outbreak that starts out small can rapidly enlarge. There are several treatment
options for an outbreak of genital warts, and all of them require a visit to a
doctor or clinic.
Genital warts (sometimes called condylomata acuminata or venereal warts) are single or multiple bumps that appear in the genital areas of men and women including the vagina, cervix, penis, and rectum. Like warts that appear on other areas of your skin, genital warts are caused by a virus called HPV.
They are transmitted by skin-to-skin contact during vaginal, anal, or (rarely) oral sex with someone who is infected.
How to treat Genital Warts
If you have genital warts, you need to seek professional medical treatment; there are no effective home remedies. Over-the-counter products meant to remove other types of warts are not effective on genital warts, and may even be harmful. Don't be embarrassed to talk to your doctor or go to a clinic; genital warts are one of the most common sexually transmitted diseases, and in many cases outbreaks can be easily treated. It's especially important to be in a doctor's care, since the virus that causes genital warts is linked to certain types of cancer.
Your doctor can give you treatment options, including topical solutions and surgical removal, depending on the location and severity of the outbreak. He or she will decide how to address an outbreak of genital warts by assessing the condition's location and severity. But even though you can control outbreaks with your doctor, there's no cure for HPV so you will always be at risk for recurrences in the future, and there will always be a chance that you can pass the virus on to others through skin-to-skin sexual contact. Don't be embarrassed; talk to your doctor.
