U will! There is no reason to think otherwise. Just stay healthy and i promise u will overcome this. Dont feel so bad about hpv BTW every sexually active person with more then 3 parterns have had HPV at one point in their lives. U just happen to get the wart causing HPV.

ive been using aldara cream for 3 weeks 3x a day. my o.b says that aldara is very strong enough to cause some common side effects. ANd speaking of aldara mean time i let my vagina rest for a while because of some side effects which causes my skin to break likewise itching. she also pointed out that treating gw may take longer period. hope that i can overcome this health problem.

there are over the counter treatments for common and foot warts but not for genital warts. for those you need to visit your doctor so he can preform one of a number of different treatments to make them go away. once he treated they may come back, usually within the first 3 months. the doctors on medhelp say that if you can go 6 months without a recurrence of warts then u can assume that your immune system has repressed the virus, as it does 90% of the time within 1-2 years like i said.

Like i said some people take long to clear the virus. Have u evever had a wart on your foot? I have and i also had it treated only 1 time to never have it recur, its the same idea with genital warts. Some get lucky and onlly need one treatment and some need more time. Keep working with ur doc and eventually these thing will stop completely.

the time i was diagnosed to have GW that was year 2010 i think, then after 2 years it came back, i have notice for two consecutive month that was month of april and may the day before my period there is a spotting and also redness and itching on my vagina. I started to see my o.b this month of june and she told me that my GW came back, so she prescribed me aldara cream, she also pointed out that my GW are very few and it is a dot like located before my vaginal opening. Nowadays, I am quite too problematic of my GW on how i can overcome this. So, i surf the net and try to search a home remedy for GW and it is says that apple cidar is more effective rather than a drug or cream which is prescribed by their doctor and by that i started to soaked a cotton ball on ACV and apply on the infected area but since my GW are very tiny and cant be seen i am not sure i applied it on the right area which has a GW on it. I dont know what to do, since today i am starting to feel very itchy.

dont do any of that crap! it may be effective for some but it will seriously irritate the skin, ive tried...also dont be so hung up about genital warts, i was once crazy obsessed about having them i literally went to my dermatologist every week to show him something new to the point where he was laughing at me. he also told me, which is very true just do a simple google search about it, that more then 90% of all cases of HPV, including cases where patients have genital warts, are cleared from the immune system within 1-2 years and never to be heard of again. also the 10% that dont clear within 1-2 dosnt mean they wont ever clear it, simply means they may take alittle longer then 2 years.

take care!!
