If you get rid of a weed by just cutting the weed from the surface of the earth, you will find that the weed will grow after some time when there are favorable conditions.

To get rid of the weed, you will add some weedicide to the soil; this weedicide will kill the weed from the root. In the same way, you need something that can get rid of the human papilloma virus completely. Just by killing the external genital warts may keep the genital warts at bay for some time. When the favorable conditions come, the genital warts will start to multiply. Be very sure with what genital warts medication you are using.
