Treating genital warts
How to use Warticon solution
Your Warticon treatment will include disposable applicators to use with the solution.
Use the applicator to apply a small amount of the solution to each wart 2 times a day for 3 days. Then take a 4-day break from using the solution.
After the break, have another 3 days of applying the solution 2 times a day.
Repeat this schedule for 4 weeks or until you can not see any signs of warts.
Use a new applicator each time. The loop end of the applicator can be used for smaller warts. The spatula end should be used for large warts or warts that are closely clumped together.
Dip the end of the applicator into the solution and apply a thin layer over each wart.
What are the side effects of Warticon?
The solution can be irritating to the skin in the area it’s applied. It’s rare, but you could experience side effects like damage to the top layers of the skin, redness, itching and a burning feeling. These side effects are not anything to worry about. If you can, continue with the treatment.
If any of these side effects bother you, talk to the doctor who prescribed this medication. If your treatment came from Fettle, contact our clinical team by replying to any of our text messages.
More rarely, you might experience more serious side effects. If you notice any of these, stop using the solution and talk to your GP: severe burning feeling, pain, bleeding or swelling.
Talking to your partner about genital warts
Telling the people you have sex with about your warts can be nerve-wracking. But if you’re informed about the virus and prepared for any questions they might have, the conversation can go smoothly.
Genital warts are very common in the UK, and most people will have the virus without seeing any symptoms, as our bodies can be very good at fighting it off. By knowing your status, using treatment and talking to your partners, you’re taking responsibility for your health and taking care of the people you have sex with.
