Froze warts once but they came back

I got small flesh colored warts where my penis meets my scrtum. you cant see it unless you look through the pubes. i froze them once. then new skin developed and now a week later they came back. what happens if i dont treat the warts that came back in the same area again. will they go away on their own? will they spread in other areas?

I just had my warts frozen on Monday.  They were on my thigh.  My last girlfriend told me after we were sexually active for a about two weeks.  But she said not to worry. I got them about 6 weeks later. Ironically, I had just dumped her even before I saw them.  There was a breakout of about 7 of them on my inner thigh.  After they were frozen, the area became very irritated and inflamed. A rash developed of some kind and this spread to my scrotum.  Then my scrotum became very inflamed and possibly infected.  The worse pain I have ever received in my life.  I am on all sorts of medications.  Antibiotics, skin ointment, etc.  However, there are still no warts on any areas other than my inner thigh.  I pray that they will not spread.  I share this story, because I want to warn people about dermatologists that don't take precautions.  I asked for skin cream up front, and he was like you don't need it.  I asked him if I should wear a bandage of some sort so the warts don't spread, he said I didn't need to (after the treatment).  Just be careful.  And ask the girl before you have sex with her. I have a lot of anger and hostility built up towards the girl.  She was very beautiful, but she did a lot of bad things, and an inner voice told me something bad will happen to me from her.  But unfortunately I did not have any major warning signs until after we had sex a few times.  Next time I think we will get tested together (not her, my future girlfriend).  Let's pray that these warts do not come back.  Wishing you guys the best of luck as well with that.

It you got them treated and they came back, it means it hasn't been completely eliminated. It takes more than 1 treatment to get rid sometimes. Usually 3-4 treatments for you to actually get rid of warts from 1 spot.

How else would they spread? I don't know man, but sometimes it's best not to do something that might increase the chances of spreading it. You don't want that happening, dude.

It grows in the same spot because it isn't completely eliminated. Warts are like mutated lizard-tree. You cut off the branches, they'll grow again. So you need to keep cutting 'em, until you reach the root. The only way to get rid of it is to get rid of the 'root'. Which is why you need to go through the treatment a few times. The first few times will get rid of the protective 'layer' the wart made, and until the 'root' is frozen and died off...then you won't see warts again.

I hope that explains it. I haven't heard of anyone getting cured with just 1 treatment. It usually takes more than that. Some even 5.

1. Possibly. Rather, I'd you have them treated than to leave them alone. They might spread, I'm no expert nor am I a doctor but it's just my own experience. Also, avoid masturbating if you have visible warts. They might spread.

2. They will most possibly grow in the same area, so eliminate them thoroughly until you're completely treated.

3 & 4. Yes, your immune system works like how the world works. Once there's a crisis, they'll adapt to the crisis and find a solution for it. But like all government and crisis, everyone will have their own individual time. Most people take about 2 years, some 3-5, some 6. Positivity, healthiness and stress-free are the keys to being wart-free. Lucky people just have 1 outbreak. Unlucky people have them. But they can be gotten rid of. You just need to treat them, get well and stay healthy. Don't freak out and etc. You'll be fine!

if i leave it alone is it possible that it will spread to other areas? or since it grew back in the same area that thats where it will continue to grow? will my immune system kick in so i wont have to worry about freezing my warts everytime they appear> how long does that take?

Actually, it means that they haven't completely gone away. Usually when a certain spot is frozen, the warts will stop being active there. It can take a few treatments to completely eliminate the warts at a specific spot. It is better for you to seek treatment than to leave it alone.

There are chances whereby it will be gone if left alone, but there's also a chance it grows bigger and another chance whereby it just stays there.
