What should i do?

This is my 3rd post here regarding genital warts. I appreciate all the help that has been given thus far. I just have one final question. I'm looking for a sustainable way to effectively get rid of the warts. Acid doesnt work, the wart freezing kits dont work, all the home remedies dont work. Apple cider vinegar is great for identifying where the warts are. The warts turn white and get puffy. I've destroyed so much skin around base of the shaft on either side with acid and what have you. I'm pretty sure it will leave a scar of some kind. MOST of my worry is actually now about the damage the acid did to the healthy skin. Should i just stop all the home remedy bs and pay the doc to have them burned so i can put it out of my mind until new ones come up? The warts that the doc burnt off the first time went away for good. I have like 5 more, if these are new or old im not sure. It's hard to tell what is what down there.

MOST if not all of the problems from this have come from 1. Trying to treat them myself. 2. the mental block that this puts in my head when talking to/ dating girls. I feel isolated and tied up with my issues. More than ever now i realize the importance of relationships and the real quality of women forgoing physical appearances. But i feel its too late. My habits are set, and i'm in a pickle. Just tied down with my issues, unable to remedy them, and unable to find somebody worthwhile because of habits in thinking. I'm hung up on appearances. It is the source of my problems. I think it is the reason why i'm single and its the reason why i'm vain enough to be worried about the scars. I need to pick a direction and go with it. And it needs to be away from my former vanity and my ways of thinking.
I'm sorry that this is a long post. If i could just have a bit of encouragement. hopefully my body can clear the virus soon.I'm a healthy guy and i haven't been sick in a while. I need some time to reevaluate my life. I love this vain world of appearances but it's destroying me.

Also the apple cider idea does also make you think you have it in areas where actually there isnt which makes u treat skin which is healthy. Always always always just do what a doctor tells you, if something else worked that you could do at home then they would do it at the doctors

if anything you've done more damage to yourself by using the acid then the warts did. Yes stop self treating and see your doctor. it is better to pay a co-pay or the cost of treating then to have something go horribly wrong.
