Anal warts
Hi Doctor,
I recently noticed small growths around the anal circumference about two weeks ago, which I suspect may be anal warts. While the physical symptoms are currently mild, the condition has been causing significant mental stress and discomfort, and I would like to address it early before it potentially progresses.
I'm in a situation where I'm unable to discuss this with my parents, and I'm short on finances for laser treatments, I wanted to ask whether there are any effective external or topical treatment options that could be used initially, if appropriate.
I would appreciate your guidance on the following:
What is the most effective treatment option at this early stage, given that the symptoms were noticed recently?
How long does treatment typically take, and what outcomes should I realistically expect?
What steps can I take to reduce the chances of recurrence in the future?

Next Steps
No improvement after 6–8 weeks- still cheaper than laser-Chemical cauterization (TCA), Electrocautery.
