Genital warts manifest as solitary or clustered, keratotic papules and plaques. They may be flat, or dome-shaped, cauliflower-shaped, or pedunculated. Genital warts can occur on the penis, groin, cervix, urethral meatus, vagina, anus, pubis, and oral cavity. Their contour can be flat, cribriform, or verrucous and their color white, skin colored, pink, purple, red, or brown.

Neoplastic lesions (e.g., verrucous carcinoma), inflammatory lesions (e.g., lichen nitidus), and normal physical findings (e.g., pearly penile papules) can mimic genital warts. The performance of physical examination using bright light and magnification aids in the diagnosis of genital warts.

Biopsy is recommended only when verrucous papules and plaques thought to be genital warts are not responsive to therapy, manifest with induration, are fixed to underlying structures, have ulceration, grow suddenly or increase pigmentation, or change in appearance. Acetic acid solutions (the acetowhite test) applied to warts to highlight them have a low positive predictive value for diagnosing genital warts.

Treatments for genital warts can be classified as topical, surgical, destructive, or immunomodulatory. There are systemic treatments of warts that involve interferon (IFN), retinoids (isotretinoin), and cimetidine but they are not analyzed here. There is vaccine for the prevention of infection with high-risk HPV subtypes.

As one of the most popular topical treatments, podophyllotoxin contains purified podophyllin in a standardized concentration in cream, gel, or solution preparations that can be self applied by the patient. Studies show that podophyllotoxin is more effective than podophyllin. Although data suggest that it is safer than podophyllin, podophyllotoxin is contraindicated during pregnancy.

Self-applied podophyllotoxin solution is three times more likely to be associated with short term cure than podophyllin, and podophyllotoxin cream is twice as likely. Both podophyllotoxin preparations are also more cost-effective than podophyllin. Podophyllotoxin solution is used for penile lesions; cream or gel formulations are easier to use for vaginal and anal lesions.

Podophyllotoxin is applied twice daily for 3 consecutive days, then discontinued for 4 consecutive days. This one week cycle of treatment may be repeated until there is no visible wart tissue or for a maximum of four cycles. If there is incomplete response after four treatment cycles, discontinue treatment and consider alternative treatment. Safety and effectiveness of more than four treatment cycles has not been established.

There is no evidence to suggest that more frequent application will increase efficacy, but additional applications do increase the rate of local adverse reactions and systemic absorption. Cost (by weight), number of actual treatment applications, and compliance aside, podophyllotoxin appears to be preferred over podophyllin.

The most inexpensive medical therapy for HPV by weight is podophyllin. The expense of a product, however, does not dictate its cost effectiveness. Although the average treatment cost for a course of podophyllotoxin was more than that for podophyllin, the overall cure rate with podophyllotoxin was 66 percent as opposed to 34.6 percent with podophyllin. Podophyllotoxin is the most cost-effective medical treatment for simple and extensive warts.

Selection of a treatment modality may depend on the number, size, and location of lesions. There is little certainty that one approach is more effective than another, although costs differ. Podophyllotoxin should be limited to instances where side effects are discounted. Determining the best treatment for genital warts takes into account efficacy, needs, preferences, financial resources and convenience to the patient.

An alternative antiviral treatment is now available which represents a very promising solution to the growing epidemic of genital warts. HPVCurative is a new, highly effective and potent way to cure genital warts. It is valued for its role in the realm of genital warts cures, and has provided total clearance of the infection time after time.

HPVCurative contains certified organic medicinal plant extracts and antiviral essential oils, which have demonstrated the ability to act as an HPV cure in laboratory tests. Users of this treatment experience rapid elimination of genital warts without scarring or recurrence. The treatment is painless and provides superb results when compare to other HPV cures.

HPVCurative eliminates genital warts and restores skin tissue to the state it was in prior to the infection. Since the treatment can effectively remove genital warts and wart-like substances on the genitals, acid or surgical HPV cures may soon become a thing of the past.

Warts are caused by the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV), of which almost 200 strains have been identified to date. More strains seem to be discovered year by year, creating a huge challenge for warts cure treatments. They are extremely common, yet strangely amongst the most difficult conditions in dermatology to treat and eradicate.

Neoplastic lesions, inflammatory lesions and normal physical findings can be mistaken for genital warts. The performance of physical examination using bright light and magnification aids in the diagnosis of genital warts. Acetic acid solutions (the acetowhite test) applied to warts to highlight them have a low positive predictive value for diagnosing genital warts.

Biopsy is recommended only when verrucous papules and plaques thought to be genital warts are not responsive to therapy, manifest with induration, are fixed to underlying structures, have ulceration, grow suddenly or increase pigmentation, or change in appearance.

Interferon is an effective treatment for warts. It appears that combinations of interferon and other treatments are not more effective than such other treatments used alone. The high cost of interferon make it a treatment best reserved for genital warts recalcitrant to other treatments. Interferon may not have a synergistic effect with other treatment modalities in the treatment of condyloma.

Subcutaneous IFN?2a combined with cryotherapy was no more effective than cryotherapy alone in the treatment of primary anogenital warts. Similarly, IFN?2a in combination with podophyllin was no more effective in the treatment of primary anogenital warts than podophyllin alone and is associated with more adverse events.

In some instances, however, combining interferon with other treatments increases the likelihood of effective treatment. In one study, the addition of subcutaneously administered interferon ?-2b to laser treated patients with chronic therapy-resistant genital lesions significantly enhanced the chance of eliminating these warts, and it was fairly well tolerated.

There are also data that suggest a gel containing interferon can help treat intravaginal warts. However, because of its high cost and inconsistent effect, interferon is best considered a treatment of last resort for the treatment of genital warts. Determining the best treatment for genital warts takes into account efficacy, needs, preferences, financial resources and convenience to the patient.

In fact, warts may recur after using a common wart cure because of the activation of latent virus present in healthy skin adjacent to the lesion. Most patients with warts require multiple warts cure treatments over a course of several weeks or months. If substantial improvements have not occurred after 3 physician-administered treatments or if complete clearance has not occurred after 6 treatments, a different treatment modality should be used.

For warts, cures used to treat HPV disease are applied topically on cutaneous surfaces. Local skin reactions and pain are common adverse effects. This is based on studies by Dr Peter A. Gearhart, Staff Physician of the Department of Obstetrics at the Pennsylvania Hospital. An all-natural topical warts cure treatment exhibits a broad spectrum of action against HPV. It kills HPV and provides a curative effect against warts.

This highly effective wart cure contains certified organic anti-viral extracts that have the demonstrated ability to not only kill the wart virus, but also stimulate CD4 T-cells. These cells are responsible for cleansing virus-infected cells, making our product superior to other cures for warts because it works without any recurrence, discomfort or tissue damage.

The therapeutic action of WartCure is accomplished via its rapid absorption into the skin. For warts, cures must act quickly in skin tissue. The organic essential oils in WartCure are lipophilic and have a low molecular weight. This allows them to pass readily into skin tissue and into the DNA of cell membranes where they attack and destroy the HPV virus.

Further, certain herbal extracts contain antiviral alkaloids, yet not in essential oils, and purposely blended into WartCure. The use of herbal substances applied to the skin and their ability to produce this type of wart cure action is a time-honored practice with proven efficacy.

What is wart?

A wart (also known as verruca) is generally a small, rough tumor, typically appears on hands and feet but also other places of body, which can resemble a cauliflower or a solid blister. Warts are common, and are caused by a viral infection, specifically by the human papilloma virus (HPV) and are contagious when in contact with the skin of an infected person. It is also possible to get warts from using towels or other objects used by an infected person. They typically disappear after a few months but can last for years and can recur.

Types of wart

A range of different types of wart has been identified, varying in shape and site affected, as well as the type of human papilloma virus involved. These include:

Warts are caused by a virus called human papilloma virus or HPV. There are approximately 100 strains of human papilloma viruses. Type 1, 2, and 3 causes most of the common warts. Type 1 is associated with deep plantar (sole of the feet) and palmar warts (palm of the hand). Type 2 causes common warts, filiform warts, plantar warts, mosaic plantar warts. Type 3 causes plane warts, or commonly known as flat warts. Anogenital warts are caused by types 6, 11, 16, 18, 30, 31, 33, 34, 35, 39, 40 and others. HPV types 6 and 11 cause about 90% of genital warts cases. HPV types 16 and 18 currently cause about 70% of cervical cancer cases, and also cause some vulvar, vaginal, penile and anal cancers. Gardasil, a vaccine for HPV is designed to prevent infection with HPV types 16, 18, 6, and 11; it is claimed to prevent infections to other strains of anogenital warts through cross protection against other types of HPVs. HPV is associated with oral cancer, laryngeal cancers, tracheal and lung cancers.

Diagnosis and Treatments

Diagnosis of warts and their specific type should be made by a doctor or medical professional.

A variety of wart treatment methods exists. Some particular ones that may be prescribed are: salicylic acid, removal of dead skin cells on the surface (keratolysis), freezing (cryosurgery), laser treatment, curettage, topical cream, podophyllum resin paint, infrared coagulator, and application of certain other medications, chemicals, etc.

Human papilloma virus (HPV) infection is the most common sexually transmitted disease. Each year 1 million new cases of genital warts are diagnosed, two thirds of which are in women. The estimated prevalence rate in the US population is 15 percent. HPV infects keratinocytes. Such infection can manifest clinically as genital warts.

These warts are spread through intimate skin-to-skin contact with an infected partner, and often require an immediate HPV cure. Out of about 200 types of HPV identified to date, more than 30 have the ability to infect the genital tract. However, HPV types 6 and 11 are responsible for approximately 90% of all genital warts, and thus are the primary targets for HPV cures.

Genital warts can vary in appearance. They can be very small, can occur in clusters and can develop into large masses in the genital area. They seem to be as prevalent in women as men. They occur either vaginally, on the cervix, or around the anus in females. In men, they usually occur on the tip or shaft of the penis, on the scrotum or around the anus. Genital warts cures must be able to eliminate both the visible symptoms and the causative virus to be truly effective.

Treatment options for genital warts are numerous, well established, and effective. Topical treatments include podophyllin resin, imiquimod, trichloroacetic acid, and podophyllotoxin. Surgical or destructive therapies include carbon dioxide laser, surgical excision, loop excision, cryotherapy, and electrodessication. Interferon can be injected locally or administered systemically to treat genital warts.

Evidence of efficacy in the treatment of genital warts is drawn from randomized blind-controlled trials, prospective studies, and retrospective cohort studies. Evidence of efficacy appears to be good, but more head-to-head studies and comparisons of combination therapies versus monotherapy need to be done. Treatment of choice depends on the number, size, and location of lesions.

There is little certainty that any approach is more effective than another, however costs differ. It would seem that the first line destructive treatment is cryotherapy, but surgery and electrodesiccation are more effective. The first line topical treatments appear to be podophyllotoxin and imiquimod. Interferon is too expensive and trichloroacetic acid is too inconsistent to be recommended as primary treatment.

It is unclear if combinations of therapies are more effective than monotherapy. Side effect profile, cost, effectiveness and convenience define the choice of therapy. Most doctors use cauterization or freezing as a first option to cure genital warts. Unfortunately, success achieved with this method is often temporary and the warts soon reappear.

For genital warts, cures may involve having to surgically excise or burn them off. After surgical intervention or chemical acids are used, one can expect a scar in that area. As the virus is microscopic and particles under the skin are not visible, doctors cannot possibly be certain if they have effected complete HPV cures by removing all viral microparticles.

Surgical intervention as a HPV cure attempts not only to cut out the virus but also to stimulate tissue inflammation. The theory is that the body will then develop an antibody response to prevent viral recurrence. However, this method to cure genital warts often fails as doctors are unable to remove the virus in its entirety, since it commonly lodges itself deep in the dermal layers of the skin.

Among all the types of genital warts cures, genital surgery subjects the patient to a highly invasive procedure. This method can be most unpleasant and ineffective, and can also create genital scarring. An alternative antiviral treatment is now available which represents a very promising solution to the growing epidemic of genital warts.

HPVCurative is a new, highly effective and potent way to cure genital warts. It is valued for its role in the realm of genital warts cures, and has provided total clearance of the infection time after time. It contains certified organic medicinal plant extracts and antiviral essential oils, which have demonstrated the ability to act as an HPV cure in laboratory tests.

HPV is associated with oral cancer, laryngeal cancers, tracheal and lung cancers.

A range of different types of wart have been identified, varying in shape and site affected, as well as the type of human papilloma virus involved. These include:

Common wart (Verruca vulgaris), a raised wart with roughened surface, most common on hands and knees;

Flat wart (Verruca plana), a small, smooth flattened wart, flesh colored, which can occur in large numbers; most common on the face, neck, hands, wrists and knees;

Filiform or digitate wart, a thread- or finger-like wart, most common on the face, especially near the eyelids and lips;

Plantar wart (verruca, Verruca pedis), a hard sometimes painful lump, often with multiple black specks in the center; usually only found on pressure points on the soles of the feet;

Mosaic wart, a group of tightly clustered plantar-type warts, commonly on the hands or soles of the feet;

Genital wart (venereal wart, Condyloma acuminatum, Verruca acuminata), a wart that occurs on the genitalia.

There are many different treatments and procedures associated with wart removal. One review of 52 clinical trials of various cutaneous wart treatments concluded that topical treatments containing salicylic acid were the best supported, with an average cure rate of 75%, compared with 48% for the placebo in six placebo-controlled trials including a total of 376 participants. The reviewers also concluded that there was little evidence of a significant benefit of cryotherapy over salicylic acid or duct tape.

One complicating factor in the treatment of warts is that the wart may regrow after it has been removed. Once cells become infected with HPV, the result is rapid reproduction of HPV cells on the outer layer of the skin, and cures for warts must act quickly to stop the spread. One all-natural topical warts cure treatment — WartCure exhibits a broad spectrum of action against HPV, the virus that causes warts. It kills HPV and provides a curative effect against warts.

For warts, cures don’t come much better than WartCure. It is established to eradicate and cure warts time after time. It is one of the most powerful and effective topical cures for warts on the market. Results are guaranteed. It is comprised of certified organic medicinal plant extracts and certified organic antiviral essential oils that have been demonstrated to kill HPV in laboratory tests.

WartCure characteristically provides a rather remarkable array of pharmacological and biochemical actions, including stimulating immunological responses and anti-tumor properties. Users of WartCure generally experience rapid elimination of warts without scarring, tissue damage, or recurrence. This warts cure treatment is painless and delivers profound results to eliminate warts, returning skin tissue back to its original state prior to the onset of the infection.

As this wart cure can effectively remove warts, cures like acid or surgical procedures may become a thing of the past. The reputation and successes of CURED is getting around and WartCure is becoming known as the go-to product to treat warts. For cures for warts, please go to http://www.bcured.net.
