Recently heard Gabe Merkin, M.D., on the radio describe how he finds genital warts on the penis by swathing the penis in gauze soaked in vinegar and then wrapping the whole "package in Saran Wrap for five minutes while the man reads a magazine. After the 5 minute soak the warts that were invisible to the eye show up as white dots and can be removed. Is this a common practice, anybody? >> You can do the acetic acid thing with the penis just like what you do with the cervix at colposcopy... I thought that was sort of "standard"... Joe P.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
