Can I Get Laser Hair Removal While I Have Genital Warts?

There is no reason to wait on laser hair removal if you have genital warts. However, be careful with shaving (which is usually required prior to laser hair removal) as this can definitely spread warts to adjacent skin!

First, you absolutely need to properly get diagnosed and have it determined if you do or do not have genital warts. Genital warts need to be taken care of and oral medications need to be taken on a daily basis. Getting laser hair removal can trigger an outbreak, of genital warts if you're treating that area, or herpes on the face if you're treating the face. So, you need to be on a current daily medication like Acyclovir or Valtrex, and you should not be having an outbreak when you go for your treatment, as it could make it much worse. But first, you need to get a confirmed diagnosis for what you have. It's very important!
