I'm dealing with genital warts for the past 3 months. It started with just 12 warts, but now they seem to be increasing. Could you tell me what the best treatment options are? I'm really concerned about this and would appreciate your advice.

Genital warts are caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV) and can be treated with prescription medications. One of the most common treatments is using imiquimod cream (brand name Aldara). You can apply a thin layer of Aldara cream on the warts before bedtime, three times a week for up to 16 weeks. Another option is podofilox solution (brand name Condylox), which you can apply directly to the warts twice a day for three consecutive days, followed by four days off. This cycle can be repeated up to four times. It is important to follow the dosage instructions provided by your healthcare provider.

View allI've been having this really awful fishy smell in my groin area and it's driving me crazy. I wash a lot, but it doesn't seem to help. I've tried using some rubbing alcohol like Seabreeze and it helps for a couple of days, but then it's back again after I sweat at night. I'm worried and not sure what to do next. Any ideas?

I'm curious if there are any side effects from using Betnovate C ointment right after I've been using Lobate GM. Can you tell me if there might be any issues with switching between these?

I've got a skin tag on the shaft of my penis, and I'm not sure how to get rid of it. I tried cutting it off once, but it bled and just came back a few days later. I'm curious about what might be causing it and if there's a more effective way to remove it. Any advice?
