Genital warts

The other cream is taking forever

Six weeks of the immune type cream and they are smaller but still there. I was expecting them to be gone by now.

That treatment is slow by design. It works by prompting your own immune response rather than destroying tissue, so it typically takes weeks to months, and courses of up to around four months are within normal use.

Smaller at six weeks is progress, not failure.

The trade off is that the slower treatments tend to have lower recurrence afterwards than the fast destructive ones. So the waiting is buying you something.

Do keep the review appointment rather than deciding for yourself whether it is working. If it genuinely is not, there are other options and switching is normal.
