It is true that treating yourself with freezing kits will help the warts on the surface of the skin go away for awhile, but you really need to begin to attack the virus itself living underneath your skin. To prevent future outbreaks, try arming yourself with a DAILY vitamin regiment (not just when you have an outbreak). Taking a good multivitamin (like Men's One-A-Day or Centrum), vitamin C (about 2,000 to 4,000 mg DAILY **), vitamin E, astragalus, garlic (comes in odorless pill form),echinacea, vitamin B complex (at least 50 mg of each form of B-vitamin 3x daily), and zinc tablets(sold as lozenges and liquid form) will help boost your immune system and keep breakouts from occuring frequently. All these are sold at health food stores,such as GNC, or drugstores. Also healthy living  i.e. leafy greens, high fiber and protein, soluble fats, no trans fat, lots of water, low sugar and salt intake, exercising regularly, good amounts of rest...all of these things play an important role in your overall health and wellness and will ultimately help you to boost your immune system, which will help you fight infections and breakouts of warts.\n\n**The vitamin C should be taken throughout the course of the day, not at one time. You can take anywhere from 2,000 to 4,000 mg but you should only take as much as your body will allow. Start at 2,000 mg and gradually increase until you notice changes in your bowel movements (runny, diarrhea). Also get the vitamin C with ester. Ester helps your body absorb more of the vitamin, as vitamin C is water soluble and will be expelled in large quantity in your urine.

This is going to sound weird, but put some duct tape on the wart. I kid you not. Cut a piece of duct tape to cover the wart completely. Stick it on there. DO NOT CHANGE IT. When it falls off in a couple of days, put more on. It can take a couple of weeks, but it should work.

Genital warts can be treated but not prevented. They are very contagious and you should see a doctor. Because they could cause you to have all kinds of female problems including cancer if not controlled. I know this because a family member has them.n Please let everyone you have sex with know that you have them it is something serious.

Genital warts are caused by a virus. The virus stays in your body forever. However, you need to go and get the wart frozen off at the doctor's office or the local county health department (a lot cheaper). Once they are frozen off, they usually do not reappear although they can. There is nothing you can do without seeing a doctor except continue to spread it around to others and let the virus cause more potential harm to your body.

Treatment\nGenital warts often disappear even without treatment. In other cases, they eventually may develop a fleshy, small raised growth that looks like cauliflower. There is no way to predict whether the warts will grow or disappear. Therefore, if you suspect you have genital warts, you should be examined and treated, if necessary.\n\nDepending on factors such as the size and location of the genital warts, a doctor will offer you one of several ways to treat them.\n\nImiquimod, (Aldara®) a topical immune response cream which you can apply to the affected area \nA 20 percent podophyllin anti-mitotic solution, which you can apply to the affected area and later wash off \nA 0.5 percent podofilox solution, applied to the affected area but shouldn’t be washed off \nA 5 percent 5-fluorouracil cream \nTrichloroacetic acid (TCA) \npulsed dye laser \nliquid nitrogen cryosurgery \nIf you are pregnant, you should not use podophyllin or podofilox because they are absorbed by the skin and may cause birth defects in your baby. In addition, you should not use 5-fluorouracil cream if you are expecting.\n\nIf you have small warts, the doctor can remove them by freezing (cryosurgery), burning (electrocautery), or laser treatment. Occasionally, the doctor will have to use surgery to remove large warts that have not responded to other treatment.\n\nSome doctors use the antiviral drug Alpha Interferon, which they inject directly into the warts, to treat warts that have returned after removal by traditional means. The drug is expensive, however, and does not reduce the rate that the genital warts return.\n\nAlthough treatments can get rid of the warts, they do not get rid of the HPV virus, so warts can recur after treatment. However, the body's immune system typically clears the virus anywhere from 6 months to a year.[1] There is even some suggestion that effective treatment of the wart may aid the body's immune response. An effective HPV vaccine is currently undergoing a phase III FDA trial and appears nearly 100% effective against the most common types.

It's a folk remedy (old wives' tale)  It may or may not work:\n\nCashews: Rub a cashew on the wart several times a day. Another remedy is to chew the cashew and take a small amount of the mixture and place it on the wart. One reader stated that he had used this remedy to get rid of a wart he had had for 25 years. It took 2-3 weeks for the wart to disappear.\n\nClick the link for other tips/tales

The HPV that causes warts on your hands and feet is different from the HPV that causes genital warts. So, no, you won't give a girl genital warts. Unless, of course, you're infected with genital HPV. The problem is that there are no real symptoms in men, other than the actual genital warts. There are some strains of HPV that don't show any outward symptoms.\n\nAs far as condom use goes, condoms are great for preventing HIV and pregnancy, but they don't necessarily work for preventing HPV. Your best bet is to practice abstinence, but if you must have sex, use a condom. In fact, the CDC is recommending that you change condoms in between sexual acts - so maybe one condom for oral sex, then a new one for vaginal sex. Good luck to you.

These are some alternative treatments for the warts:-\nBefore applying any herbal cure to a wart, as much of the wart as possible should be removed, in order to give the cure a head start. Apple juice: Apply the juice of a sour apple. Action is due to the magnesium in the juice. Banana skin: First the wart should be rubbed with an abrader, and a fresh banana skin (immediately after opening) should be applied and left overnight. Cabbage: Apply fresh juice from a white cabbage.\nChickweed: Apply the juice to the wart.\nDandelion: The juice of the dandelion is a very old English cure for warts.\nGarlic: Rub a raw clove on the wart every night until it disappears.\nGreen figs: The white milk from a green fig is excellent at removing warts.\nHouse leek: This is a plant commonly found in rock gardens. It has thick fleshy leaves and its juice is rich in supermalate of calcium, which will destroy warts. Pineapple: Cotton wool should be soaked in the fresh juice of a pineapple. The enzymes of the pineapple will dissolve the wart. Rubber plant: If the stem of a leaf from a rubber plant is broken, white liquid will ooze out. If this is applied to the wart over a period of two to three days, the wart should disappear.

If you want an old fashioned home remedy that truly works, rub cornstarch in your armpits. No joke it really works. When you do shave use a shaving lotion and sharp razor.

I am not a physician, but there are over the counter cremes that you can apply to the wart that will slowly eat the core of the wart from the foot.\n\nYou can also go to a physician and he will probably use a freezing technique that will quickly kill the wart tissue.\n\nThe first choice, while lengthy in time is less painful than the other method. (in my brother's experience) The few times that I had these when I was younger, I used the creme. He elected to go the other route because it was fast.\n\nTry and determine where your eight year old is contracting the warts. Usually public gym areas and pools and showers are the easiest place to pick up these warts. Not going barefoot in these public areas will help reduce occurrences.

Well, at pharmacies they have wart removers, but I haven't had much luck with them.  The wart is caused by a virus so eventually it will go away.  But if you can't stand them anymore, taking garlic pills works well (garlic boosts immunity among other things).  I've also heard that leaving duct tape on a wart for awhile gets rid of them, but as warts do best in warm sweaty areas I don't know how helpful that would be...

It is a gross question, but a good question anyway.  The wart you get on your finger is a slightly different virus than the one you pass from intercourse.  \n\nI still think it is a good idea to get the wart removed by the doctor, he freezes it and it is a simple procedure.  As for the warts on genitals, have those removed as well.  it is a more difficult procedure, but if you have them, the doc Will sedate you and use a special light and microscope so he/she can zap them all.  Get er done.

LEEP (laser) therapy can get rid of the warts. But be aware you are carrying a virus (human papilloma virus) and it is not curable. You can get rid of the warts, but they can and will grow back. sorry!

No. Genital warts are spread by direct skin to skin contact and sex.\n\nI worried about this when I was living with my two younger brothers. I shared a bathroom with them for 5 years and I never gave them the virus!

warts come from a virus and are contageous.  You need to go to your family doctor and he/she will tell you how they will remove them.  You can get them from being sexual active and the person may have given them to you.  There are medications to use along with treatment.
