Two years ago, one small wart (2-3 mm) had appeared on the glans penis. Gradually warts increased in number and covered the prepuce of the penis. The patient had gone through various types of treatment but it reappeared repeatedly. Along with the main complaint, he had suffered from chronic postnasal catarrh. Cinnabaris 200, one dose was administered, and then placebo administered for 30 days.  Placebo was continued for the next two months, and the warts at the affected part appeared to be improving. The success of using homeopathic medicine to treat penile warts is demonstrated in this case study.
