Genital Warts

Genital warts are small growths in the genital or anal area caused by certain types of the human papillomavirus (HPV), a common sexually transmitted infection. GetMyMeds offers clinically reviewed creams and treatments to help clear them.

How It Works

1. Complete an online consultation - answer confidential questions about your symptoms and health.
2. A clinician reviews suitability - our prescriber checks that a topical treatment is appropriate and safe for you.
3. Discreet delivery - if suitable, your treatment is dispensed and delivered in plain, unmarked packaging.

Who Is It For

Topical treatments may suit adults with external genital warts that have been confirmed. Different creams and solutions work in different ways, with some applied by the patient over several weeks. Because these treatments are not suitable during pregnancy or for every type of wart, a clinician reviews each order. If this is your first outbreak, or you are unsure whether the growths are warts, an in-person examination at a sexual health clinic may be recommended first.

FAQ

Are genital warts serious? They are usually harmless but can be uncomfortable or distressing. The HPV types that cause visible warts are generally different from those linked to cancer.

How long does treatment take? Treatment often continues for several weeks, and warts can sometimes return, so follow-up may be needed.

Can I prevent passing them on? Warts can be passed to partners even between outbreaks. Condoms reduce but do not eliminate the risk, and HPV vaccination offers protection against certain types.
