HPV is the virus that causes genital warts, one of the most common sexually transmitted diseases in the United States today. There is still no known cure for HPV. However, there are many different genital warts treatment, all varying on the severity of the condition. The mildest of cases only have to be treated by application of topical ointments. The most severe, on the other hand, may require surgery. No matter how bad the condition is, self-diagnosis is highly not recommended. Have a medical practitioner look at you right away.
