HPV. It's treated with some cream to gradually reduce tnem and they eventuallt fall off, or if they are huge clusters they are surgically removed, or if you have a cluster they are frozen off and fall off in a couple of days. Hope this helps!

hpv can never actually be gotten rid of. the warts may go away with treatment but you will always be a carrier of the disease. and the warts can re-appear at any time. in order to tell if this is what you trully have you have to go to the gyno and have a papsmear done. if not treated as soon as possible it can turn into cancer.

There are different strains of HPV. HPV strains 6 and 11 are the one to my knowledge that cause genital warts. Only around 10% of those who are exposed will develope visiable systems,If you don't show symptoms you can still transmit the virus. But there have been studies that prove that the body irradicates the virus within 12 months time. If you do show visuable symptoms and the warts are removed and you are wart free for 12 months then you more than likely won't have a reoccurance. Go to the STD forum on this website Dr. HHH just amswered a question in requards to HPV and there are many other ones that have been posted.

Research shows that anyone who is sexually active will eventually (usually w/in their first couple of partners) catch some strain of HPV.  It's so common that some doctors don't even tell their patients when their pap shows HPV.  Some strands of HPV can cause cancer if left untreated but I think that the strands that cause warts don't cause cancer.  It is believed by most medical professionals that the body will rid itself of HPV within 6 to 18 months of infection.
