need help please

I just found out that I have the HPV warts. The doctor told me that they are HPV warts but he did not any kind of testing for it?   ( just visual ) Is'nt there some kind of testing they can do to make sure that it is HPV and not any thing else?

      They did the acid treatment and burnet out 2  warts but it seems like each and every time they burn one there is another one showing up the next day ? does this mean i am having a breakout? why does the other one show up so fast?

    I was Told to buy ALDARA.......   very expensive but life is more important.....  has any one used this medication?


Please help and I appreciate all the answers.

Most doctors recognize HPV easily and therefore do not biopsy and test the wart. They know that a wart is casued by a low risk strain, so the test is not needed.

I don't know why the warts are showing up so fast. Perhaps you are paying closer attention to the treated area.

I have not used Aldara. If you find the medication too expensive, discuss other treatment options with your doctor.
