Home remedies for urethral wart Jul 24, 2009 Hi Dr. Bob, I noticed that I had a small amount of blood in my semen about a month ago and didn't think anything of it until a week later it happened again. Upon the second occurrence I spread the opening and noticed a small cauliflower-like growth at the tip of the urethra. I could not get a short notice doctor's appointment at my hospital so I went to Planned Parenthood and verified that it was certainly HPV but I was negative for gonerea and chlamydia. My question is regarding home remedies versus surgery. I have read that a few things work wonders and clear up genital warts within a couple weeks: Elderberry extract, Apple Cider Vinegar, Tea Tree Oil Are these worth a try in your opinion? Thank you very much in advance, T, USAF |

 Hello T, USAF, Unfortunately home remedies are not effective for treatment of HPV genital warts. In fact some may cause additional inflammation and discomfort. I strongly recommend you have this problem definitively treated by a knowledgeable specialist (surgeon or dermatologist). Dr. Bob | ||||||||
