[Clomiphene citrate ointment in the local treatment of condylomata acuminata].

The hypothesis underlying local treatment of Condylomata acuminata with clomiphene citrate is based on the assumption that susceptibility to this disease in women depends on the relative amount of oestrogen receptors in the affected, as opposed to the unaffected areas. We postulate blockade of these skin receptors after local application of clomiphene citrate ointment. A pilot study was conducted in 15 patients aged 20-33 with Condylomata acuminata. After only 2 months a complete remission was recorded in 12 patients (= 80%).
