How to Use Home Remedies for Genital Warts

Genital warts are small bumps typically shaped like a cauliflower located on the genitals. The warts are caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV) which is a sexually transmitted disease. The American Journal of Medicine estimates approximately 74% of the population is infected with the virus. Shockingly, this is 3 out of every 4 people, making it one of the most prevalent sexually transmitted diseases in existence. Yet, not every person infected with HPV will have genital warts. However for those who do, the warts can be a huge source of embarrassment and discomfort.
