Hello,
The treatment of wrats depends on the size and area involved. For small warts, several medications(like podophyllum resin, Podofilox (Condylox), Trichloroacetic and bichloroacetic acids, Imiquimod 5% cream and interferons) are available, which can be applied directly to the surface of the warts but they should be used after a dermatologist’s guidance. Other treatment options include electrical cautery, surgical removal, Carbon dioxide laser treatment and electrodesiccation.

It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.

My daughter had warts, not sexually transmitted, on her hands. Her doctor used a basic, over-the-counter, wart freezing system. It was used one time on each wart, and they eventually fell off. I am not sure if I would recommend using it on the lips though. The hands would be okay though.
