How Warticon treats genital warts

Podophyllotoxin is a type of medication called an antimiotic and it’s the active ingredient that helps Warticon get rid of your warts. It works by combating HPV, keeping it from growing and replicating, effectively keeping it from creating warts. When it’s applied directly to genital warts it gets to the virus within your skin, getting rid of your existing warts until the outbreak has passed.

Directions

Before usung Warticon solution you should wash and dry your hands and the area you want to treat carefully. Dip one end of a disposable applicator into the bottle of solution, using the small loop for warts which are few and spaced out, and the spatula end for warts which are large or clumped together. When the loops in the applicator have filled with solution, apply it directly to a wart, making sure that it’s coverd in just enough solution and avoiding areas of healthy skin. Do this for all of your genital warts and let the solution dry. When you’re done, wash your hands again. Apply the solution twice a day for 3 days, once in the morning and once in the evening, leaving 12 hours between each application. You will often only need to use one course of treatment, but if your warts still have not dissapeared after the first course you should speak to your doctor. They will assess your condition and recommend a solution that will be right for you, they may even recommend another course of Warticon, if you need it.
