I have a single wart on the side of my penis, and I'm pretty sure it's not an STD. Can I use a common wart remover to get rid of this?

 Hello,There are mainly two types of warts that can occur in this location.One is plane wart,non STD and the other the sexual type condylomata acuminata.The later are mostly multiple and have perdilection for mucus areas like the inner areas of the penis and vagina.Both are caused by a virus but of different subtypes.The common wart generally disappear after the body develops resistance.Treatment is with external application of salycilic acid,cytotoxic agents like podophyllin,caustics and cryotherapy.As you would notice many of these react with normal skin too.They have to be applied with caution and best done by your doctor.Special mention about podophyllin is that it is not safe for pregnant women,this is just for the readers as a general information.Best wishes.
