Treating genital warts with TCA (trichloroacetic acid)

Genital warts can sometimes be treated with a topical treatment called Trichloroacetic acid or TCA. This clear liquid is applied by a qualified health care professional once a week until the warts are completely gone after a few weeks.

The first application of TCA causes the warts to start to shrink and turn white. This first application can also cause some stinging that can lead to some discomfort.

As it is mensioned above, TCA can only be applied by a professional. The reason is that, if not used properly, this solution can cause some severe irritation in the area surrounding the treated lesion.

However, you can safely use TCA 50 % to treat your genital warts at home without risking to harm yourself. The thing is, TCA 50% can guarantee very good results in killing genital warts, but since its strength is weakened, it can't harm the skin surrounding the treated areas.
