How to Get Rid of Genital Warts
These are small rash-like growths that can usually be found in, around or on the surface of your vagina or penis. They usually are pink to red in color. Genital warts are known to be infectious and transmittable when in direct contact. They also vary in size as some can be very small that it can’t be seen by just looking and some may be as big as the size of the pimple. You may experience difficulty in passing urine, burning and itching around the sex organ, pain during sexual intercourse and the like.

However, in most cases, the warts are curable. Some just wait for it to go away on its own but it is best that you know your options on how to get rid of genital warts.
