m henry,\n\nI have just reported Doc Armalite for abuse. I hope that you will do the same thing. In fact, I urge ANYONE reading this to also report him.  This is an extremely sick and dangerous man.\n\nPLEASE DO NOT TAKE THIS QUACKS ADVICE!!!  What he is reccomending is self-mulilation. Do NOT treat your genitals or any other part of your body  with battery, muratiac, or any other kind of acid.  \n\nThe problem you are describing needs to be treated by a "REAL" doctor, by conventinal methods.\n\nIF this man is a real doctor, (which I highly doubt!!!!), then he knows the Hipocratic Oath.  It states #1. DO NO HARM.  The advice he has given you here IS doing harm!!!!

Genital warts and genital herpes are two completely different things (a few people answering are obviously confusing the two). Both are viruses and will stay with you the rest of your life. Genital warts are caused by HPV (Human Papillomavirus). There are a few ways to get rid of them. You can have them lasered off, frozen off, or use topical medication (creams). As for home remedies, nothing really works. The more you wait, the more they spread and can become VERY painful (I had to call off work, they were so painful).\n\nAldara cream is very useful, but very powerful. You are only suppose to use it 3 days a week because you can get 2nd and 3rd degree burns from it. Unfortunately the only way to get Aldara is by going to the doctor and getting a prescription. You do not need to go to a dermatologist. Your regular family doctor can help. Hope this helps. Good luck!

What about going to the free clinic??  There must be one where you are.  I don't know if you have access to a ride to it, but that's my first suggestion.  My second suggestion is to call your doctor (or find one first), tell them the situation and ask if they will see you and if you can make weekly or monthly payments to pay off the office visit.  Also, sometimes, doctors will give a discount, if they don't have to go through the hassle of sending a bill to an insurance company.  Doesn't hurt to ask, especially since you're having difficulties.  \n\nI'm advising those first because these home remedies are a little weird.  I have NOT tried them.  One I read about from a natural health book is <sigh>: peel a clove of garlic (a clove-just one section), wrap in sterile gauze and <gulp> insert it.  It's supposed to get rid of the infection.  I'm not sure how often you're supposed to change it, probably a couple of times daily.  Another one, is for the external area, to reduce itching and inflammation (if you have it).  You take about 2 tablespoons of plain yogurt and apply it to the genital area.  It's messy, so I'd suggest an accompanying panty liner.

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.

The warts are "Plantar" warts - the sole of your foot is called the "plantar" surface.  To treat the warts, there are over-the-counter treatments that you can buy where you apply medicated patches to the warts and they are cured over time.  These treatments use salicylic acid, and may take weeks to months to make the warts go away completely.

According to the National Institute of Allergies & Infectious Diseases, Human Papillomavirus is among the most common causes of sexually transmitted infections in the world.(1) In the United States, it is estimated that there are more cases of genital human papillomavirus infections than any other sexually transmitted diseases; indeed, according to the Centers for Disease Control, approximately 20 million people are currently infected and at least 50% of sexually active men and women acquire a genital HPV infection at some point in their lives. The CDC estimates that by age 50, at least 80% of women will have acquired a genital HPV infection, and about 6.2 million Americans get a new genital HPV infection each year.(2) \nThere are more than 100 different strains of HPV, as it is commonly referred to, most of which are harmless. However, an estimated 30 types of HPV are spread through sexual contact; some of which can cause genital warts.(3) Also called condylomata acuminata or venereal warts, genital warts typically appear in “clusters” of bumps. The warts can appear either as raised or flat and range in size from small to large. Common locations for the warts in women include the vulva, cervix, and inside and surrounding the vagina and anus. Genital warts typically appear on the scrotum or penis in men who are affected. The warts are highly contagious and can easily be spread during vaginal or anal sex with an infected partner. Rarely, genital warts also can develop in the mouth or throat after having oral sex with an infected partner. Genital HPV infections often do not have any symptoms; however, even without obvious symptoms, HPV can still be spread from partner to partner. \n\nWarts are usually diagnosed, even in absence of symptoms, by sight. Gynecologists can confirm the diagnosis in suspected cases by applying acetic acid (vinegar) to the infected areas, causing the areas to whiten and making the warts more visible. Abnormal Pap Smears can also result in the presence of a cervical HPV infection. \n\nThere is no cure for HPV. There are, however, treatments for the warts, including topical agents such as Imiquimod, Podophyllin Antimitotic solution, Podofilox, Fluorouracil cream and Trichloroacetic acid. Genital warts can also be removed surgically through cryosurgery, which freezes them, electrocautery, which burns them, or laser. As there is no cure for human papillomavirus, the warts may come back even after definitive treatment. \n\nHPV is more than just an STD. Some forms of the virus can actually can cause cancers of the cervix, vulva, anus, and penis.(4) Genital warts can also cause problems during pregnancy, ranging from vaginal obstruction to the development of warts in the throat of the infant (laryngeal papillomatosis).(5) Early diagnosis and intervention in a patient with genital warts are crucial for successful treatment. \nAccording to the University of Iowa Department of Obstetrics & Gynecology, there are three ways to decrease exposure to HPV and other sexually transmitted diseases: use of condoms, which can lower the risks of exposure; monogamous relationships; and complete abstinence.(6) The University is currently conducting important research towards a possible vaccine through their study on HPV types 6, 11, 16, and 18.

You cannot cure genital warts.  If you have them, you will always carry the virus.  This does not mean you will always have warts though - you simply have the virus in your blood.\n\nThere are tons of products on the internet that claim to cure everything.  The reason is because some people believe everything they see - and some people are very desperate for a cure - and others take advantage of that by selling things that do not work.\n\nYou can get tested free of charge at many Planned Parenthoods, or at Family Planning or STD clinics through your local or state department of health.  It's confidential and no one will ever find out - not even your parents.

See your doctor, there is no cure but there are ways to treat outbreaks. Some warts are visible, some are not, and on each person the appearance varies. I have treated patients with genital warts that looked like little pinpricks, and others who have had large red inflamed warts all over their genitalia and lower body.

If genital warts are not treated, the bumps will spread. It is possible for those bump to become tumor that lead to cancer.\nYou can apply Podophyllotoxin solution to infected skin at home. It could destroys the affected skin cells so the warts shrink or disappear. However, even warts is removed, viral infection might remain because virus live inside your skin.\nIf self cure doesn't work, you will need to see doctor. Clinic treatment like cryotherapy (freeze the infected area), laser and loop electrosurgical excision procedure can effetely remove genital wart

Genital warts is caused by the Human Papillomavirus (HPV).  They are permanent and there is no cure.  Your physician may be able to cut or burn them off, but the virus remains in your body forever, which means more growths down there.  And it IS STILL POSSIBLE to spread the virus to others even if you have your current warts removed!!

I recommend Cryosurgery as it worked for me!   \n\n"Treatments that may be prescribed by a medical professional include:\n\nImiquimod, a topical cream that helps the body's immune system fight the wart virus by encouraging interferon production \n\nCandida injections at the site of the wart, which also stimulate the body's immune system\n \nCryosurgery, which involves freezing the wart, after which the wart and surrounding dead skin falls off by itself. \n\nCryosurgery followed by surgically removing the infected spot. \n\nTreatment with chemical compounds, containing salicylic acid, blistering agents, immune system modifiers, or Formaldehyde \n\nLaser treatment \n\nNone of these treatments are very effective on single uses; the wart often returns after the skin has healed from the treatment, but repeated treatment should get rid of the wart permanently. As they disappear after a few months and maximally a few years, treatment is necessary only if the lesions are painful or are a cosmetic problem."

There is no "cure" for HPV infection, although in most women the infection goes away on its own. The treatments provided are directed to the changes in the skin or mucous membrane caused by HPV infection, such as warts and pre-caMost women are diagnosed with HPV on the basis of abnormal Pap tests. A Pap test is the primary cancer-screening tool for cervical cancer or pre-cancerous changes in the cervix, many of which are related to HPV. Also, a specific test is available to detect HPV DNA in women. The test may be used in women with mild Pap test abnormalities, or in women >30 years of age at the time of Pap testing. The results of HPV DNA testing can help health care providers decide if further tests or treatment are necessary.\n\nNo HPV tests are available for men.\n\nncerous changes in the cervix

There isn't a "natural" way as far as I know, but they recommend using duct tape to get rid of warts- you could try that..

Genital warts are caused by Human Papiloma Virus (HPV)  Direct contact with the virus through sexual contact with an affected partner is how the virus is transmitted.  You need not have visible lesions to transmit HPV, and, at this time, there is no way to cmpletely rid yourself of HPV.\n\nTreatment ranges from nothing, to topical medications, to surgical destructon or removal of the lesions as warranted by the specific presentation.\n\nWomen with exposure to HPV are at higher risk than the general population for cervical cancer - so it is very important to have regular PAP smears and pelvic exams.  \n\nWhile you are at that - talk to your doctor about treatments to decrease the appearance of warts as well as how to discuss this with potential partners and minimize the risk of spread.

Genital warts are a virus, called Human Papilloma Virus (HPV). There are over 230 different virus types that are considered HPV. \n\nYou need to see your doctor or gynecologist and have the test for HPV. Once a positive result is achieved, there are several ways to get rid of the warts. Keep in mind that the VIRUS itself never goes away, even if all of the warts are removed. An outbreak can happen at any time. Be sure and tell any sexual partners you may have in the future that you have warts, because they are contageous (obviously).\n\nUse of condoms during sex will prevent the spread of HPV. \n\nTypically, if the outbreak is small, the biopsy of the wart can remove it. If not, there is laser treatment. If that doesn't work, then your doctor can freeze them off.\n\nInbetween your test for HPV, biopsy, and a single given treatment, you will need to have a pap smear to determine the results. \n\nAfter you are wart-free for a full six months, your ob/gyn will go back to recommending a pap smear annually. \n\nGo to www.webmd.com for more information on what HPV is, how to test for it, and treatment options. Please visit your doctor, soon, though, because *some* of the HPV viruses (about 20, in fact) may lead to cervical cancer over time.
