Podofilm (Podophyllin Resin) is a resin of an herbaceous plant used for the destruction of non-malignant growths, especially certain kinds of warts. This is the main substance in this liquid medication usually used for the removal of genital warts (condyloma), and also for the removal of skin warts. It works by terminating the tissue of the growth. The blanching of the wart occurs a few hours after Podophyllin is administered to a wart. The death of the tissue will occur in 24-48 hours. The wart will begin to slowly come off in about 72 hours.
