Q Hey i want to ask that is it important to treat genital warts immediately or we can wait for two months..i am 17 and i want to wait for two months..and secondly can we have wax on the area
Hi. Genital warts are generally caused by an sexually transmitted infection, by Human Papilloma virus. Genital warts are caused due to infection of HPV on skin of genital area. Generally they are not harmful, but the only point of concern is they have potential to get cancerous. In females, many of cervical cancers are due to HPV infections. In males, if they left untreated, will disappear gradually within few months. But in some, they may remain there. Person with genital warts can spread an infection to his/her sexual partner. There is no need of an emergency treatment for this, but you should be careful that you are not spreading it to anyone. Also, doing wax at this area, may increase the apread of virus, so it is better to be avoided. Hope this is useful for you.
