Most HPV infections clear up on their own over several months. But treatment of warts speeds the process.

Thanks for your help. Unfotunately, work and time contraints do not allow me to get a second opinion prior to my biopsy. If in fact, they are warts, many of the postings have lead me to beleive there is a good chance the virus will clear on it's own. Do i have reason do beleive that is a possibility in the future?
On the one hand, if your gynecologists thinks they are warts, thats probably the best bet. On the other hand, an experienced provider doesn't need a biopsy to diagnose warts; that strikes me as an income-generating exercise more than a diagnostic one. From your description, you could have skin tags, which are a normal part of the skin that can appear from time to time in the genital area. Before you have a biopsy, I recommend a second opinion, perhaps from a dermatologist. And it sounds like you need to find another gynecologist anyway, if only beause of her attitude.
Good luck--- HHH, MD
