Is there anything I can purchase at my local drug or health store for treatment of what I think could possibly be genital warts?

No, not really. There are no data on the efficacy of any over-the-counter treatments for genital warts. Equally important, you need a professional diagnosis; maybe what you have isn't warts at all. Please see your health care provider; if you don't have a regular doctor, call your local health department and ask about the STD clinic or other public health clinic.
