Genital warts are caused by low-risk HPV types (commonly 6 and 11). Treatment removes visible warts (topical therapies like podofilox or imiquimod, or clinic procedures such as cryotherapy or surgical removal), but HPV can persist and warts may recur. Vaccination, condom use and routine cervical screening are key prevention measures.
Molluscum contagiosum causes small, firm bumps that often resolve on their own. Treatment choices are watchful waiting, in-office removal (curettage, cryotherapy, cantharidin), and topical or laser therapies. Choose based on symptoms, scarring risk, and patient preference.
Updated overview of current treatments for HPV-related genital warts: patient-applied topicals (podofilox, imiquimod, sinecatechins), clinic procedures (cryotherapy, TCA, surgery), recurrence risk, pregnancy considerations, and the role of HPV vaccination.
Early evaluation of suspicious skin lesions can allow less invasive treatments. This updated guide explains common options - from curettage to Mohs surgery - and why timely care matters.
Genital warts are skin growths caused mainly by HPV types 6 and 11. They are diagnosed visually, treated with topical or ablative methods, and largely preventable by HPV vaccination and safe sexual practices.
Genital warts are caused mainly by HPV types 6 and 11. While HPV itself cannot be cured, topical treatments, provider-applied procedures, and vaccination help control warts and reduce future risk.
Practical, evidence-based ways to manage prostate cancer: how surveillance, surgery, radiation, systemic drugs, lifestyle, and mental-health support fit together.
Prostate cancer treatment is individualized by stage and risk. Early disease may be monitored with active surveillance or treated with surgery or radiation. Advanced disease relies on androgen-deprivation, systemic targeted agents, chemotherapy, and radioligand therapy, with decisions guided by biomarkers and patient goals.
Genital warts are caused by HPV (usually types 6 and 11). Treatments remove visible lesions - topical drugs and procedures - but HPV can persist and warts may recur. Vaccination and screening are key prevention tools; discuss treatment and any home remedies with a clinician.
Genital warts, caused mainly by HPV types 6 and 11, can be visible or subclinical. Learn common symptoms, how clinicians diagnose and treat warts, and how vaccination and condoms help prevent transmission.
