Hell no! I hope that you are not asking because you have them and expect someone to go down on you.  \n\nGenital Warts HPV\n\nWhat it is\nSymptoms\nLong Term Effects\nTreatment\nGenital Warts and Cervical Cancer\n  \n\n\nWhat it is\n\nGenital warts are small, often painless bumps in or round the vagina, penis, or anus.\n\n\n\n\nThey are caused by a virus (a kind of germ). It is called HPV (the human papilloma virus).\n\nYou get HPV by having sex with someone who has the virus.\n\nHPV is spread by having vaginal, anal, or oral sex.\n\nEven if the warts go away or are removed, the virus stays in your body and can be spread to others.\n\n\nTOP\n\nSymptoms\n\nSome people don't show signs even though the wart virus is in their skin. Others do have signs.\n\nPeople may see small bumps (warts) in or around the vagina, penis, or anus.\n\nThe bumps may grow in bunches or clusters.\n\nThey may itch.\n\n\nThe virus can be spread to others even when there are no signs.\n\nTOP\n\nLong Term Effects\n\nGenital warts can be treated but not cured. The treatment can help make you feel better and can help take away the warts. But you will always have the virus. Having the virus can cause these problems:\n\nYou can pass it to others.\n\nYou have a higher chance of getting HIV (the virus that causes AIDS).\n\n\nIf a pregnant woman has genital warts, she could have these problems:\n\n\n\nThe warts could grow and block the vagina.\n\nThe baby could get the virus.\n\nSome wart medicines are not safe for pregnant women to use.\n\n\nTOP\n\nTreatment\n\nThe treatment for genital warts is to have a health care provider remove them. There are also some new medicines that you can use at home.\n\n\n\n\nYou may need an exam of the cervix or penis called a colposcopy. Your clinician uses a magnifying glass with a bright light to see the warts.\n\nThe warts can be removed by freezing or burning. Most people need to have more than one visit to remove all the warts.\n\n\nTOP\n\nGenital Warts and Cervical Cancer\n\n\n\n\nIf a woman has the kind of HPV that causes genital warts, she may also have another kind of HPV that causes cervical cancer.\n\nAny woman who has had genital warts should have a Pap smear at least once a year to check for cervical cancer.\n\n\nPlease be safe.

If you are really worried about it-make an appt. with a gyno and stop asking questions on the web. Yes these people may have had the same bumps but it may or may not be what you have going on 'down there'so you can not be sure how to treat it until you know what it is. Whether it be trush or an std you should not treat it with anything until a doctor checks you out and tells you what it is...exactly!

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.

Finding A Plantar Wart Treatment -There must be a hundred different ways to treat plantar warts. It's best to start with the more conservative treatments and only move to the more aggressive treatments after the conservative ones fail. The best treatment for plantar warts, or any non-genital wart, may be no treatment at all. This is because up to 80% of non-genital warts disappear on their own within a year or two. However, if the plantar wart is too painful or if you are impatient, here are your options: \n\nOver-The-Counter Medications - There are surgical methods, topical methods and injections. The most cost effective and the most biologically effective method of treatment involves injecting viral antigens into the wart itself. \n\nNatural (and naturopathic) Medicines -These run the gamut. Herbal remedies have been created from many sources: aloe vera, garlic, a type of beetle, tea tree oil, goldenseal and from the bark of evergreen trees - just to name a few.\n\nHome Remedies - This is an area where the truly creative methods of curing warts come out. Some are effective, for instance duct tape , and some are not.\n\nOk, these are not medical reccomendations, but I have heard anecdotally that these home remedies may work:\n\nDuct Tape - Foot Wart, Plantar Warts Removal \nI didn't see this remedy on your website, but it truly works... My husband and I each have a few warts here and there. The ONLY thing that has worked to take warts away has been to use a piece of silver duct tape. You just need a piece big enough to stick over the wart. Keep it there all the time - changing the tape daily. I guess there is something in the duct tape that our systems don't like and so our immune system reacts to the site of the duct tape, thus reacting to the virus of the wart as well. \nWhen my doctor saw my warts on my foot (I was being treated for an ingrown toenail) she even suggested using duct tape. I have also read about the cure in a home-remedy book. It does take weeks to work and takes longer to work on plantar warts, but it works and it is simple and CHEAP! - S Jensen, May 28, 2004\n\nWart Removal - Duct Tape & Finger Nail Polish\nUse clear finger nail polish to cover warts. It stops them from breathing and they die within 2 weeks. This is why duct tape and other covers work. Finger nail polish is less noticeable and stays on longer. Please note that it doesn't kill the virus itself. - BLS, May 28, 2004 \n\nPotato Skin & Duct Tape Wart Removal\nCut into a potato skin and place a small piece over the affected area. Then wrap both the area and the potato skin in duct tape, keep it on for several days (5 - a week). Continue until warts have disappeared. - Ward, Alaska, June 22, 2004\n\nRemember:\navoid walking barefoot whenever possible - for example in a public locker room or shower \nchange shoes and socks daily \nkeep feet clean and dry \ncheck children's feet periodically \navoid direct contact with warts on other persons or on other parts of your own body \ndo not ignore growths on, or changes in, your skin \nvisit a podiatrist as part of your annual health checkup \n\nWhen To Call A Doctor - Let common sense guide you in your choice of treatment, but don't take any chances either. You should consult a physcian if any of these conditions exist: \nif you have any unusually shaped or darkly colored skin growths \nif the wart bleeds, hurts or is unusually large \nif the wart appears after age 45. This may indicate a more serious problem, like skin cancer. \nif the wart does not respond to self-treatment after three months\n\n\nGood Luck

Yes, genital warts are a sexually transmitted infection, but you can have common viral warts anywhere on your body. You've just been unlucky enough to have one down there. Do you have warts on your hands? If so, you could have spread them while touching down there.\nThe doctor did NOT say it was a case of genital warts, he just said it was probably a wart. He didn't say it was sexually transmitted. It's most likely just a normal viral wart which happened to show up in an unfortunate area. You can have them frozen off or you can get a topical liquid which you paint onto them which gets rid of them, but you're probably best just to leave it until you're back home and you can talk to your own doctor about the best treatment.

No- at this point there is only treatment.  Several antiviral medications are available to treat genital herpes. These medications can relieve symptoms, shorten the length of outbreaks, and prevent some recurrent outbreaks. They cannot cure genital herpes nor prevent all recurrent outbreaks. A vaccine to prevent herpes infection is not available at this time, but several are being studied and may be available soon.

a wart on your finger is not the same as genital warts. Get them burned off, they'll be gone immediately.

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.

After time, the HPV for the most part goes away or lies dormant, which ever you feel more comfortable with saying, but you literally do not have to deal with it after a few years of misery (warts.) The symptoms just disappears, but they say it's always there and spreadable because it's a virus. You'll have warts for a few years, at which time you can so easily spread them, but they go away if you stop shaving (raking infected cells over healthy cells with a razor blade) and stop intercourse with someone that has physically them. That's a lot to ask, so you could cover them with bandaids during intercourse, but the bandaids could come off if there's moisture involved.  And there's no way to put a bandaid on an infected cell that you can't visibly see yet. The warts spread so easily!  A nurse has said "the only way to have sex and prevent spreading them is to use the male and female condom...together..." but if you ask me, that's impossible!  Neither condom covers the inner thigh and buttocks.  Have sex with underwear on to keep the least amount of skin from touching!  It's not sexy, but ...neither are those warts.  Best of luck to you.

ok dude, guess what, that virus is called HPV..ask any doctor. the body is trying to push this virus out and so it creates a wart. i am using this stuff called "heal warts" i have just started usuing it really, it pulls the roots out and you can actually see the root. it is working. duct tape...doesnt work, if you freeze it, it will come back and sometimes in clusters. the band aids dont work, as you have already noticed. you have a virus, and these warts will come up on all different places of your body. you have to realize this is an STD. or! you could have got it from birth. thats all i have to say about that :) good luck

NO, not at all. Genital warts is caused by the Human Pappiloma Virus. Some people carry this virus and never develop warts, because there are so many strains of it. However, some strains cause cervical cancer in women. Herpes causes sores that can be painful. There are daily treatments for herpes, but I'm not sure if there are for the warts. But there is no cure for either, so that may be why people get them confused.

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!!

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.
