There is no over-the-counter treatment available for a beginning of condyloma. It is recommended to consult a doctor for a proper diagnosis. Treatments such as creams or gels can be prescribed to help with symptoms, but there is no cure to completely get rid of the virus. Condylomas can disappear within 4 months to 2 years, with or without treatment. It is important to inform sexual partners and avoid sexual activity until the lesions have cleared to reduce transmission. Shaving in the genital area may promote the spread of condylomas, and vaccination can help prevent new infections. However, the vaccine may not be free for men over 26 years old.
