Genital warts can be treated, but they can't be cured. You're removing the warts, but you'll still have the virus that causes them. The virus may go away at some point on its own, but there's no way to know for sure. Some people will get warts again and others won't.

I've got this round ringworm on the side of my pubic area, and I used an ointment called Flucort to treat it, but now the itchiness is getting worse. What should I do? Could it be that the ointment is making it worse, or is it just not effective for this?

stop using Flucort and consult a healthcare professional to get an accurate diagnosis and proper treatment.
