Do genital warts go away?
The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) says studies show that 20-30 percent of genital warts go away on their own, without treatment, within three months. This is most likely to occur if the warts are small in size and number. Warts that do not go away on their own can be eliminated with treatment, although they may come back and require repeat care. Rates of recurrence vary depending on the treatment used and individual circumstances. On average, however, it’s estimated that 30 percent of genital warts will come back, requiring about three rounds of treatment.
