Hpv genital warts returning

I was diagnosed with hpv genital warts about 7 months ago. Tried aldara and had then frozen off but they keep returning. I'm taking vitamins to boost my immune system but nothing seems to help. I'm very active 24 year old with what I figured was a great immune system but I can't seem to beat this hpv infection. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

I jus have another quick question. So if 75 to 80 % of people get hpv at one point I'n there life and only 1% show symptoms of genital warts. What's the point of disclosing that you have it when most people get it anyway and just dont show symptoms and it goes away on it's own I'n two years.

there are some immune boosters that sometimes work for people.  ask your provider their thoughts on starting cimetidine for a few months to see if that helps. It only is effective in 30% of folks but sometimes anything is worth trying.

I don't have a regular partner. I want to get this under control first. I was told that the warts usually go away I'n their own within 6 months to year. Is this true?

some folks do have a tougher time than others with getting rid of warts. all you can really do at this point is to continue being seen regularly by your provider for removal of warts.

do you have a regular partner?
