When untreated, the lesions may last until over eight weeks, or even longer. To arrest the propagation of molluscum contagiosum genital warts, an infected person may opt for any of the following medical procedures:
• Laser – dye laser therapy has shown excellent curative efficacy. The treatment rate is at almost one hundred percent, and is quick to administer. However, for certain patients where the lesions and bumps appear at a much later stage, laser and any other surgical processes have to be repeated.
• Cryosurgery – is a painful method where liquid nitrogen is applied on the infected area to freeze and tear down the lesions, and then when already frozen, scraped with a curette – a surgical scraping instrument.
• Imiquimod – it is taken in controlled dosage. Iniquimod prompts the body’s immune system to attack the skin growth-causing viral infection. However, the Food and Drug Administration has not given its nod on the utilization of this procedure.
• Over the counter – Salicylic acid and Tretinoin cream are can be easily bought at your local drug stores.
• Tea tree oil – to trim down the propagation and intensification of lesions and bumps.
• Cantharidin – this should be dispensed with great care because though known as an aphrodisiac, it is highly poisonous even in minute amounts when orally taken. Normally, when topically applied, it is covered with surgical tape for one hour to eight hours.
• Benzoyl peroxide – more effective than tretinoin, around ninety two percent cure rate in six weeks compared to forty five percent for tretinoin.
• Astringents – these chemicals can be applied topically on the affected area to obliterate skin layers.
