Medication and treatment

Because the virus that causes the disease usually "after a very long time, the treatment will depend on the type of the disease:

1. genital warts: the simplest way to cure warts is a gentle foaming soap/cream. To treat cystic acne, You can also use the ointment to cold or heat to eliminate acne. The disease may last for several months of treatment.

Genital warts: your doctor will diagnose warts by looking at the skin. If HPV cannot be detected, the doctor will take a sample of warts (biopsy) for examination under a microscope.

Cancer: the Pap test (cervical cytology) will help detect signs of cancer and a change in the cells of the cervix that might become cervical cancer. You should begin to undergo a Pap test at age 21 years.
