Topical Ethanol Extract (Piper Crocatum) for Anogenital Warts

Summary

This clinical trial aims to assess the efficacy of topical Piper crocatum in treating Anogenital warts. It aims to answer * the clinical efficacy of treating anogenital warts * the expression of Foxp3+ regulatory T (Treg), TGF/Tumor Growth Factor -β1, and IFN/interferon -γ of anogenital wart lesion Participants will be allocated into two topical treatments, intervention and active comparator Trichloroacetic Acid (TCA) 90%. The researchers assume that intervention is superior compared to TCA 90%
