Fighting HPV for several years/Recent bad outbreak

I was diagnosed with HPV genital warts about 5+ years ago.  I have struggled with it off and on and usually only had one wart or two at a time.  Last year I thought I may have finally beat the virus to some extent and late last year the absolute worst outbreak I've ever had occurred.

I have so many small warts I have never experienced anything like this before.  I'm feeling very depressed and hopeless, I've had several TCA treatments that have helped me a little, but the problem has become worse because new small ones are still popping up.  I've been prescribed Conodolyx and used it for the first time today.  

I'm looking for a little guidance here and some help on what to do.  Should I be concerned that I have some sort of immune problem bigger than I realize?  Or would this problem that I'm NOW having, stem from all the things my body has been through over the past few months?

I would say its a bit of both things. Your body's immune system was weakened by all of the issues you had and the surgery. You should try to boost your immune system via exercise, more sleep, less stress, no cigs, less o no alcohol, better diet, meditation, supplements & vitamins, etc. See what occurs after 3 months of this.

It's strange because I have taken up a way healthier lifestyle before this happened.  I eat decently healthy and exercise regularly.  I don't smoke but I do drink occasionally.  I'm treating what I have now, but I'm seeing very tiny ones still trying to come through.  Condolyx is rough on my skin!
