Hi, guys.
We got an updated advice from our health expert. Here it is.
Genital warts are a sexually transmitted infection caused by certain strains of the human papillomavirus (HPV). There are some things you can do to help relieve the itchiness of genital warts:
-
Keep the area clean and dry: Gently wash the area with mild soap and water and pat dry with a clean towel.
-
Avoid scratching: Scratching the affected area can lead to further irritation and potentially spread the warts to other parts of your body.
-
Wear loose-fitting clothing: Tight clothing can cause friction and further irritation. Opt for loose-fitting clothing made from breathable fabrics.
-
Apply a cool compress: Applying a cool, damp cloth to the affected area may help relieve itchiness.
-
Use over-the-counter treatments: Over-the-counter treatments such as topical creams or ointments may help relieve itchiness, but it is important to speak with your healthcare provider before using any treatments.
