Genital warts male

Hi
Are there any over the counter medication a person can get to help clear up male genital warts as I have been to doctor but can't afford the prescription medication at the moment?
Any help will be appreciated.

Hi doctor.
Thank you for the advise. I saw my doctor and turns out it's not genital warts, it's just a friction burn on my frenulum and now it's not healing, its under the foreskin I think that's why, but it's dry. I keep it clean and exposed as much as possible. My doctor prescribed me Famvir 0.25mg twice a day for 10 days so that I don't get infection because it's under the foreskin I guess, that dried it up. My doctor is on holiday and can't get hold on and don't want to disturb him. I heard a topical steroid will help clean it up. I happened to have dovate cream will this help or any suggestions, as I'm to shy to go to an unfamiliar doctor.
Thank you.

Hello,
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.Other treatment options include electrical cautery, surgical removal, Carbon dioxide laser treatment and electrodesiccation. Injections are not given usually.

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.
