There are many types of genital wart self cures that can be used by people who have warts that are caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). Many people prefer self cures in order to avoid the embarrassment and expense of going to a doctor. Self cures range from natural remedies to treatments that can be administered with substances that are readily available in most households.

• One self cure that can relieve the symptoms of genital warts involves sitz baths. Fill up a tub with a few inches of warm water and sit in it for 10-15 minutes each day.

• Squeeze warm water from a bottle over you genital area to provide comfort and cleansing.

• Use a heat lamp or a hair dryer several times a day to cleanse your genital area. Make sure to hold the lamp or dryer at least 18 inches from your skin.

• Apply aloe gel directly to the affected area.

• Soak a cotton ball in apple cider vinegar. Then put the cotton ball directly on the wart and cover it with a band-aid. Leave it there overnight. The next morning, remove the bandaid and cotton ball. Do this every night for a week.

• Cut raw potatoes and rub the juices on warts three times a day for three weeks or until the wart is gone.

It is highly recommended that people who using genital wart self cures adhere to sound nutrition standards. Eat a diet rich in folic acid and beta carotene. Eat fruits and vegetables that are orange, yellow and red in color like radishes, mangoes, squash and tomatoes. Dark green and leafy vegetables like spinach and cabbage are also recommended. Some people take dietary supplements to make sure they are getting the daily recommended amounts of vitamins and minerals.

There are several herbal remedies that are used in conjunction with genital wart self cures. Some of these herbal remedies have been in use for thousands of years as cures for a multitude of conditions. It is recommended that you check with your primary care physician before using herbal remedies for genital warts. When utilizing herbal supplements for a prolonged period of time, it is important to alternate the use of immune enhancing herbs, as the body can develop a tolerance for the herb and cause it to lose its effectiveness in treating genital warts.

In many cases an individual's own immune system can be the best self cure for warts. The immune system may eventually suppress the reactivation of the latent virus. It is not known whether the latent HPV virus can be transmitted to an uninfected person so it is crucial to use condoms consistently.

HPV, like most health conditions involving the immune system, can be triggered by stress. It is important to get adequate rest while you are using genital wart self cures. If the genital wart self cures you are using do not improve your warts within two weeks, then you should talk to your doctor about other options.
