Abstract:: Genital warts represent benign epithelial proliferations induced by human papillomavirus. The goal of treatment is the clearance of visible warts. Different regimens are available. Flashlamp-pumped pulsed dye laser (FPDL) represents one of many treatment options for the management of viral warts (verrucae vulgares), its effectiveness being comparable with that of conventional therapies. We evaluated the effectivity of FPDL light for the treatment of genital warts. A prospective study was performed to examine the efficacy of FPDL in untreated genital warts in which 22 patients were included. All patients showed complete remission after 1.59 (1-5) laser sessions and no scarring was observed. This study demonstrate that FPDL is a simple and safe, cost and time saving alternative treatment option for genital warts and should be listed in genital warts treatment guidelines.
