Genital Warts

Genital Warts: What are they?Genital Warts are flesh-colored or gray growths found in the genital area and anal region in both men and women. Genital warts affect both men and women and can occur at any age, however most patients are seen between the ages of 17-33 years. In children younger than 3 years, genital warts are thought to be transmitted by nonsexual modes such as direct manual contact. The presence of genital warts in children should raise the suspicion for sexual abuse.
Genital warts are the most common sexually transmitted disease caused by a virus. The warts are caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). Genital warts are highly contagious. You have a 60% risk of getting the infection in a single sexual contact with someone who has genital warts. Keep in mind that infection with genital warts may not be obvious. Warts on the genitals can be passed to another person during sexual intercourse. It is important not to have unprotected sex if you or your partner has warts on the genital area. In women, warts can grow on the cervix (inside the vagina), and a woman may not know she has them. She may pass the infection to her sexual partner without even knowing it.

 Genital WartsA Random Controlled Trial To Compare The Effects Of Two Home Treatments: Melaleuca Alternifolia And Salicylic Acid (Salactol) On The Resolution Rates Of Verrucae Pedis.James, Leisa, Dr. Podiatry, University College Northampton April 2000
"Conclusions....A random controlled trial was conducted to compare the effectiveness of two home treatments: Melaleuca alternifolia and Salicylic acid (salactol) on the resolution rates of verrucae pedis and pain levels experienced when using a visual analogue scale. Ten subjects, (age range 16-45), with single plantar warts were randomly assigned to one of the two experimental treatment groups. Subjects received once-daily applications of either Salicylic acid (16.7%) or Melaleuca alternifolia (100%) for 12 weeks. Debridement and clinical assessment were performed at 0, 4, 8 and 12 weeks. Statistical analysis using a parametric unrelated t test revealed that no significant difference could be identified (p>0.05) when using Salicylic acid or Melaleuca alternifolia for the treatment of verrucae pedis. Therefore the null hypothesis was accepted. Statistical analysis using a nonparametric Mann-Whitney U test identified that there was a significant difference (p>0.05) when comparing the pain levels experienced when using a visual analogue scale. This concluded that there was an overall significant pain reduction when treating verrucae pedis with Melaleuca alternifolia." Click here to read the entire study
