Hello doctor,
When I went to the doctor, the doctor diagnosed warts and fungus (the doctor prescribed medicine to drink, put and wash). The doctor has scheduled me to come and burn the warts next week, but I have heard that the burning is easy to recur. The doctor asked me if I have warts with fungus, should I use medicine or burn? I thank you doctor.

Hello,
To the question “Should warts and mushrooms be used or burned? , the doctor would like to answer as follows:
Genital warts, also known as genital warts, is one of the most common sexually transmitted diseases, almost all sexually active people sex will lead to infection with at least one human papillomavirus (HPV), the virus that causes genital warts. Genital warts affect the tissues of the genital area with a small, flesh-colored bump or a cauliflower-like appearance.
Drug treatment for genital warts:
Imiquimod topical cream increases the immune system's ability to fight genital warts. Avoid sexual contact while the cream is on the skin as this medicine can tear the condom, the diaphragm, and possibly irritate your partner's skin. Another possible side effect is skin redness, blisters, body aches, cough, rash, and fatigue. Podophyllin is a plant-based resin that destroys genital wart tissue. Your doctor must apply this solution. Genital warts should not be treated with an over-the-counter wart remover. These medications are not indicated for use in moist areas such as the genitals, and their use can cause further pain and discomfort.
