Colliflour on penis
My boyfriend has the 'colliflower' shaped tiny warts on his penis and they have just appeared randomly and have booked a doctors appointment I was wondering if you know how exactly he got them ?? And how long it takes to get rid of them? And how do you get rid of them? thanks
Okay thankyou!! So does that mean he got them a long time ago? And what exactly is HPV ? And as his girlfriend how long are we not allowed sex for? What's the easiest way to get rid of them!? &did the person he got it off have genital warts before or any std's? Thankyou
Well those are classic genital warts. You get them from skin on skin contact with an infected person from the HPV virus. If you can see the warts well enough to see a cauliflower like appearance by this stage, he would have had to acquire the HPV many weeks ago. He might have acquired it a year ago. It is very hard to say as the symptoms and the timeline vary tremendously from one person to the next.
About 90% of HPV infections are cleared by your bodys own immune system within 2 years, without treatment, and most within just 6-12 months. Of course you are plenty contagious during that time. You can speed up the treatment by freezing them off with liquid nitrogen (at the doctors office, with full healing in about two weeks), or he might use a blister bug extract to blister them off (youll heal up in about 2 weeks), or he might prescribe Aldara cream or Condylox cream to apply to them (4 to 16 weeks to get rid of them this way).
He will get recurrances of the warts until his body mounts a sufficient immune response, over several months, to prevent future warts from appearing.
