Bowenoid Papulosis |
Individual warts may be treated by a variety of methods but the virus itself is difficult to eradicate. If the biopsy shows cancerous changes then the lesions should be removed and treated similar to a skin cancer. Podophyllin is a topical therapy that can be applied to some warts depending on location. Imiquimod (Aldara) may also be applied to most warts. Cryotherapy may be utilized, which involves applying liquid nitrogen and destroying the wart by freezing the tissue. Various acids are also used to treat genital warts. For Bowenoid papulosis specifically, 5-FU 5% cream is utilized with good success. Any warty lesion in the genital area should be biopsied first to rule-out any cancerous changes. New HPV vaccines have been approved and recommended by the CDC to help prevent cervical cancer in women.
