This forum is an un-mediated, patient-to-patient forum for questions and support regarding HPV issues such as: genital warts, causes, diagnosis, cervical cancer, HPV in men, PAP tests, treatment, telling your spouse or partner
Of course only your doctor can tell you this, but one thing I did learn (let's just assume it IS genital warts) : The sooner you pay attention to it the better!
Good Luck!
Well I have an apt tuesday with my pcp, couldnt get in any sooner. Its just driving me nuts. Wondering if anyone thinks the description of what it looks like sounds like warts or maybe a skin tag. THanks
It is hard to tell if something is a wart based on a description. The fact that it is fleshy and irregular makes me think that it could be a wart, but you will have to wait for your doctor's diagnosis to be sure.
When warts dissapear, they usually are gone for good. Some doctors believe that most people clearClear by design Clear eyes Clear eyes acr Clear eyes clr Clear-atadine Clear-atadine children's the virus. Other doctors think that the virus is suppressed to an amount that they cannot detect. There does seem to be evidence that at least some people do not fully clear the virus, as they experience outbreaks long after their initial one. This happens in the minority of cases, but is not all that uncommon.
For your situation, it may be a wart, or something like a skin tag, or something completely different. A doctor will be able to determine this. If it is a wart, it may be related to your previous infection (especially if it occured in the same spot), or may be a result of a new infection. Remember that a new infection is not a sign that your partner has cheated, as there is a chance that a partner's old HPV infection has become active.
