There are numerous different types of warts that can infect your body, and they are caused by the Human Papillomavirus (HPV). Genital and anal warts appear around genital region or in clusters around the anus, and it can be very difficult to find the best wart treatment to help get rid of the breakouts.

Anal warts fall into the same category as genital warts, and numerous people make the mistake of trying to get rid of the warts without the assistance of a medication or advice from a medical professional. Anal warts are extremely personal, for this reason many people refuse to seek medical attention because they would like to avoid the embarrassing situation. You should always seek help from a medical doctor at the first sight of a genital or anal wart outbreak.

The duct tape treatment is one of the most popular home wart removal options. You actually cut pieces of duct tape and place the tape over the warts. The acid from the duct tape eats away at the wart, eventually clearing the infection. You should apply the duct tape for a few days, then remove the tape to clean the infected area, then reapply the duct tape. In a few weeks, you will notice that the infected area has cleared up considerably.

Your doctor will usually recommend a topical cream medication to help clear anal and genital warts. You can perform this treatment at home, or the doctor can apply the medication in their office. Your doctor may use cryosurgery to freeze the warts using liquid nitrogen, and the wart will eventually fall off after a few applications. This type of treatment does not always work, and you will suffer a more dramatic outbreak than last time. Your doctor will be able to tell if this form of wart removal will effectively work depending on the severity of your infection.

Genital and anal warts are extremely personal, but you should always contact your medical professional as soon as you notice an outbreak. Topical creams and other medications will most likely clear the infection, and help prevent future breakouts.
