HPV

[joe687]

I am a 24 yr old male and am really worried about some symptoms. I was diagnosed with HPV, and got genital warts about a few years ago in 2008 and have still have not been able to seek full care due to personal reasons of going public on this issue. Although i have received some treatment as in electrocautery to remove some warts, but some still remained as they were to tiny to burn. As the healing process began it left huge scars which look like lumps or collagen deposition scars. I've been worried because there not getting any better and they look permanent. Is there is a treatment for scars as such?

I have also been getting really worried because i have no future plans of being with someone because of some scars i have due to electrocautery, the remaining warts, risk of someone else getting it, and approach and embarrassment. I haven't gotten checked out in a long time and don't know where to go because i have no insurance and no one knows. I feel it's starting to take over my life now.

In addition to all that, I recently went through an episode of ptosis and diplopia for about a month and cat scans and blood work didn't reveal any causes. It self corrected . I am wondering if there is any association of HPV and MS?
And if anyone can help me with maybe how i can seek treatment for HPV in a private matter, i have no insurance and haven't told a single person but my ex-girlfriend who i am no longer with anymore. So if someone can please get back to me with some serious answers i would really appreciate it.

this is not the doctor's forum. you have to pay to post there.

we don't look at pictures here either. why not is explained in our read before posting post located under the important announcements tab on the forum.

see a dermatologist. Posting online to strangers is never a replacement for proper medical follow up. A dermatologist will be able to tell you what is going on as well as suggest treatments too.

Hey thanks for the reply. Just out of curiosity are u a physician? and if so are u willing to take a look at the scars...there under my umbilicus and in my pubic region. I'm really going insane thinking about what to do

many treatments available from a dermatologist for scarring from procedures.

it would be unusual for genital warts to still be there 3 years later. I have to wonder if some of what you are seeing is all scar tissue related? A dermatologist will also be helpful for that too.  

your question about ms and hpv will get better answered on the MS forum where you also posted it.
