Each lesion must be treated individually as the therapeutic effect is localized. Other options for topical therapy include iodine and salicylic acid, potassium hydroxide, tretinoin, and imiquimod (T cell modifier).

People often think they’ve got genital warts when they see the firm, dome-shaped raised spots, which may be dimpled and can be as small as 1 millimetre or as large as half a centimetre, that are typical of MC. It’s an easy mistake to make and the reason why getting a correct diagnosis is important. The GP can do this, but many people still feel embarrassed about ‘problems down below’ so when this is the case visiting the local sexual health clinic, also known as the genito-urinary medicine (GUM) clinic, is another good option.
