Genital Warts & Over-the-counter medicine?!


Question:

Genital Warts & Over-the-counter medicine?

My friend has Genital warts. He went to the store and bought wart medicine ( the kind you put on your finer, or knee) and applied it to his penis. Apparently the warts fried and fell off. I don't think this was a good idea...what could happen? Infection?


Answers:

Those medications aren't intended for the genital area, but if he uses them they won't kill him. It's still not a very good idea though.

It's possible for him to irritate the skin and he could even get 2nd and 3rd degree burns from it. The medication is very strong for a sensitive area like the genital area. Even prescription medication, like Aldara, can cause 2nd and 3rd degree burns if not used correctly.
