Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) causes genital warts. These growths typically occur in people who have multiple sexual partners and don’t practice safe sex by always using condoms.
Genital warts can be either flat or cauliflower-shaped like other warts. They typically appear in the genital areas such as the penis, scrotum, vagina, vulva, and cervix, and also in the anus or rectum. Genital warts typically occur in young people in their early 20s. Aside from being unsightly in personal situations, genital warts also can itch, causing the sufferer great physical and social discomfort.
Since the condition can be quite embarrassing, many sufferers of genital warts are reluctant to ask for over-the-counter medicine. Instead home remedies for genital warts can be both welcome and effective. In each case the treatment should be continued until the warts are gone.
Apply apple cider vinegar to the warts with a cotton ball. Treat the warts with the milky juice that comes from figs. Apply onion juice to the warts. This will help relieve itching as well. Chop a garlic clove into pieces and apply to the wart with a bandage. Repeat until the wart is gone.
Coat the genital warts with aloe vera juice. Try internal as well as external treatment. Eat fruits such as papaya, pineapple, mangoes, tomatoes and figs, and even some banana peel to help reduce warts. Eggs, onion, garlic and all citrus fruits also stimulate the immune system to combat genital warts. Also avoid excessively oily and salty foods.
Apply Vitamin E oil to dissolve the warts. Combine Vitamin E oil with chopped garlic and apply this mixture to genital warts with a bandage. Leave the bandage on for one week, and then remove it. You should see the wart in the bandage. Eat a diet rich in folic acid to help remove genital warts.
Slice an onion, salt the slices and keep the mixture overnight. In the morning, apply the onion juices to the genital warts and continue until the warts dissolve. Take an oatmeal bath by adding one cup of oatmeal in your bathing water. Bathe the genital wart repeatedly with the oatmeal water.
