The CDC recommends patient-applied topical Podofilox 0.5% solution or gel for the treatment of HPV. This medication is applied directly to the affected area and is effective in treating genital warts caused by HPV. Miconazole ointment is used to treat fungal infections, penicillin is an antibiotic used to treat bacterial infections, and metronidazole is an antibiotic used to treat parasitic and bacterial infections, none of which are effective in treating HPV.
