HPV Concerned....Bigtime

[bigdean123]

Ok...so I think I got HPV...I have several bumps that started in the region on top of my shaft and go to an inch or soo below my belly button...they are very small and dont come in clusters...they are singly...I 1st noticed them last Febuary...then after 2 or 3 months...I popped most of them and they went away...theres like no more than 10 at a time....they stayed away for 2 months...then came back....whereas their on my stomache as well...Is it def GW??  I mean they def look like tiny warts...So im assuming thats what it is...Ive only slept with 4 girls soo Im ********...Anyone know of any good treatments...or ways to get rid of these freakin things? Cheaply? Im a broke college student and this suxx.....Im gonna go to a MD soon but am embarressed....Also ******** because I just met this girl 3 weeks ago and were hitting it off......Can someone give me some advice?!??!?!

Oh sorry I got the wrong idea... To be honest I don't think apple cider vinegar stuff works very well. It doesn't sound especially like warts what you're describing...... i dunno, am not an expert. But warts are basically fleshy lesions aren't they...? The HPV virus integrates itself into the local DNA and starts to grow... not sure if it will give pus...? It might just be something else? Think it's best to see the doc... u might be surprised at the answer. And HPV is not incurable.... your body's immune system will eventually fight it off in 2-3 years. But wif treatment it'll go away faster....... if there're pus i'm wondering if it's something like folliculitis...? In hte states i think there're some special sexual health clinics? Am not sure - dermatologist will do as well. Good luck with all - hope we are just normal human beings making mistakes...

Yeah Well thankx for replying to me too...You see im not a MD...i said im going to go and see a MD soon...I am in school for cell biology....I have tried the white vinegar...and it seems to help somewhat...I havn't tried the apple cider vinegar as i thought the reg. vinegar would be better...But I can pop these things....I squeeze them...you can barelly feel these when u rub your fingers over them...and them I can squeeze them...and when I do they get bloody...and then a lil bit of stuff comees out...gel like stuff....as if it was a pimple...but its def not a pimple...I mean the thing that sux is from what Ive heard...theres no treatment...soo why bother going to a doctor...One thing I did nottice....is when I shave the top part of my pubic line...like where my waiste line is...it triggers there growth...but when I dont shave...they seem to go away....All these net things say guaranteed to help...but all I know is this girl and many of the ones out there are certainly not saints...but how you tell a beautiful girl with a perfect body you have these...If they say that like 3/4 of sexually active people have it...it sounds messed up but its like...maybe u could play stupid if they appear after sleeping with her...I dont know what to do...4 girls and now this happens?? Unreal...I wish someone could tell me how to just get rid of these...I stopped shavin and put vinegar on them like twice a day and they look like they fading....Id like to take the gel like stuff to a lab and test it...but I havnt taken microbiology yet...Im a soph/junior and Ill eventually learn the proper techniques to look deply into this stupid virus...Who is the best to contact, a dermatologist im assuming??? It seems like it only lives in the affected skin of the genitals...so I might call PP and see if they can give me some input...but thanks for replying...I appreciate it...I like the idea of getting out with a slap on the hand...

Mate I fee you pain - thx for answering my post. Since ur a pre-MD I think ur impression of a wart is most likely accurate - come either in clusters as cauliflowe growth, or can just be a raised fleshy lesion... Don't quite understand how you "popped" a wart - they aren't blisters or anything that can be popped...! But if u've got rid of them, and they recur at the same place... they're likely to be warts I think. The stomach ones might not be GW - could be just general warts....

Think fast freezing is definitely the highway to get rid of it. Slower methods like Aldara takes some time but is less invasive..... Some ppl try vinegar or apple cider vinegar.... my GP once told me for genera warts that's useful as the aci alters the pH and makes it more difficult for the virus to replicate (dunno how much truth there is to it - unconventional). I understand being a broke college student and this suxxx.

Can't give decent advice since am in the same boat - but most ppl will prob say abstain til ur clear.... with treatment it may clear up anywhere fromthe 2month to 2 years time-frame. Normally takes a couple of months... but best to get the diagnosis correct first...! Best of luck to you as well - hope we both just escape with a slap on the hand...
