I'm dealing with these anal warts and have been using podowart paint every week, but recently, I've noticed the warts are staying wet, and there's a foul smell coming from them. Could you tell me what's going on and if there's anything I can do to fix this?

Anal warts can be uncomfortable and embarrassing. Podowart Paint 1. Continue treatment: Podowart paint contains podophyllotoxin, which helps remove warts. Continue applying it once a week as directed. 2. Monitor progress: Keep track of any changes in the warts' size, shape, or color. Additional Measures 1. Keep the area clean: Wash the affected area with mild soap and warm water to reduce bacterial growth and odor. 2. Dry the area thoroughly: After washing, dry the area completely to prevent moisture buildup. 3. Use a mild antiseptic: Apply a mild antiseptic cream or solution to the affected area to help reduce bacterial growth and odor. 4. Avoid scratching: Scratching can irritate the skin, making the warts more prone to bleeding and infection. 5. Wear loose, breathable clothing: Tight clothing can trap moisture and irritate the skin.
