Use of topical anesthetic prior to podophyllin (Genital Warts)
Hi
My first post here.
Male 26yrs old.
I have been diagnosed with genital warts and doctor gave me podophyllin 25% and I have to use it myself. I have not started the treatment yet.
in order to reduce the discomfort:
1. Can I A) use a topical anesthetic B)Wash it after a while and C)Apply podophyllin
If it's OK,
2. Which type of anesthetic should I use? Lidocaine, benzocaine, ... ?
3. Which form, gel, cream, ... ?
4. How long should I wait before washing the anesthetic?

I asked the doctor and he told me not to.
I applied it and surprised that it doesn't hurt at all!
