Dear Dr Hope you doing well. Good day. I need your help. Its been few days I have seen some cauliflower type small genital wart (one in number) near my glans penis just under the foreskin. It does not pain me there. I am just worried about it and wish to get it treated as soon as possible. I am scared if it increases in size. Does it increase in number very soon? Can you please advice some medication.I am scared to visit doctor need some treatment over the counter if available. If possible i can send pics, but where do i send? Please advice asap. Regards Raj

Yes the pic u send is genital wart. Genital wart is quite common and most of the people might not have any sign of wart but still have infection.
As they are harmless and non-cancerous , u need not worry much. It can sometime go on its own if not medical treatment can clear the wart. Just make sure not to have sexual contact or you might transmit to other.
There are several treatment ranging from topical cream, cautery, niquid nitrogen, co2 laser.
Over the counter treatment might not work well and removing warts from the skin does not necessarily reduce transmission risk. So its better to visit the dermatologist and get treated with oral immunity boosting meds along with topicals or laser.
