i have warts, and i have been getting them burned off by my skin doctor for the last year, i've only ever had it on the area above my penis.

my girlfriend got tested a while ago, and her doctor (different then mine) told her where she had them close to her clit she couldnt get it burned off, because she would get nerve damage.

now recently i have noticed i may have one or two on my penis head underneath my foreskin, i fear the thought of going back to get them burned as it hurts just to get the other ones burned, or will using the cream aldara get rid of it from there by itself. thanks, any help would be greatly appreciated

Hi,

Welcome to the ehealthforum and I am really glad to help you out. Your concern is regarding the warts that you are having on the penis.

For small warts, several medications(like podophyllum resin, Podofilox (Condylox), Trichloroacetic and bichloroacetic acids, Imiquimod 5% cream and interferons) are available, which can be applied directly to the surface of the warts. Other treatment options include surgical removal, Carbon dioxide laser treatment and electrodesiccation.

You can apply the topical treatment but apply it under medical supervision.

It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care.
