Comparing podophyllin cream and freezing for genital warts
Part of Infections, Skin clinical trials.
This study compares two standard treatments for genital warts: a topical cream (podophyllin) and freezing (cryotherapy). Both are applied directly to the warts, and the study aims to see which works better and has fewer side effects.

This study compares two ways to treat common warts: using a cream called imiquimod, or using the cream together with freezing (cryotherapy). The goal is to see if the combination works better than the cream alone.
This study tests three treatments for warts on the skin (not on the genitals): platelet-rich plasma (a substance made from your own blood that may help healing), metformin (a medicine usually for diabetes), and cryotherapy (freezing the wart). The goal is to see which treatment works best and is safest.
