When will it go away?

Ive had HPV for over 2 years now and the warts have never gone away since they first showed up. I have tried many different treatments to make them disappear but they persistantly come back in the same spots. Most of the time not even completely disappearing, even after multiple treatments. Why are these warts sticking around for so long and what can I do to get them gone as quick as possible?

Basically whatever I read on how to treat HPV in general, they always talk about your general health and specially having a very strong immune system... you need to have a healthy diet, exercise, not smoke, etc...
also, personally I believe a lot in the power of mind... so keep being positive about it and make sure you have a very healthy life style...
at the end, it's true that it is a horrible thing to have HPV but if it makes us to have a healthy life style, and stay younger, it's not a bad thing after all ;)

Wish you best of luck!

I feel your frustration. During the last 4 years, I have had "maybe" a total of 8 months without warts.

Numerous burnings, surgeries... all to no avail. I look forward to responses you get.

Science/medical community are FINALLY starting to recognize the contributions that "nature" can contribute in fighting various diseases/viruses (there is a study actually right now that shows that the main component in broccili has been shown to kill cancer cells in test tube/animal). Many insurance companies are starting to cover them under "alternative medicines" .
I started taking a supplement called Papillex on Oct.17th for my high risk..hoping to strengthen my immune system in suppressing/"clearing" the virus. Check out their site. I researched each of the ingrediants FIRST before deciding to give it a try...figured I'd give it a try. (I don't work for them or have any vested interest besides trying to share info that I've come across since finding about having HPV)

other than the people that work at the homepathic stores I have never researched or even heard of a naturopathic doc.

have you ever tried seeing a naturopathic doc? I've conversed/read on other HPV support sites about ppl seeing one and getting advise on what they could do naturally to help their bodies suppress the virus by strengthening their immune systems. The warts are a symptom and getting rid of them doesn't help your immune system fight the virus.

That must be frustrating. Hopefully you won't have to wait much longer before you see results.

I have been to a dermatologist and they have repeatedly frozen them off. I did that regime for about a year and then started using condylox. Still no change, I eat healthy, exercise daily and try to stay as clean as possible. Dont know what else to do

If you haven't made an appointment with a Dermatologist, that would be my first step.

Let a specialist give you a proper diagnosis, and better advice.
