First of all, as far as I know, masturbation is not the cause of genital warts.  Some genital warts are caused by humanopapilloma( I think thats how it is spelled) virus or HPV.  It is normally sexually transmitted and causes warts in the genital area that may or may not be painful.  In women it can lead to abnormal pap smears and a change in thier cellular makeup (or lead to cervical cancer).  In men it is not as harmful except for the fact that it can be transmitted to their partner and there is no known cure.  Talk to your doctor about options for treatment or removal and the risks of future sexual encounters, but it is a safe bet masturbation is not causing or aggravating this problem.  Good Luck!

What are Condyloma? \nCondylomata acuminata or genital warts are fleshy growths which appear in the genital area. They are caused by HUMAN PAPILLOMA VIRUS (HPV) and are usually spread by sexual contact. \n\nSymptoms and Diagnosis. \nGenital warts first appear as small pink or red bumps on the vulva (lips of the vagina), vagina, cervix, penis shaft, urinary opening or rectum. They are usually painless, but some people may have itching, burning or slight bleeding from these areas. \n\nThe time between exposure to the virus and the appearance of warts is not known. It could be anywhere from several weeks to several years before symptoms occur. Because of this, it is had to tell when and where you were exposed to the virus. \n\nSometimes vaginal infections and pregnancy can cause warts to grow and spread. One study showed that 20% of women with genital warts also had a vaginal infection. Unless that infection is treated, the warts may not go away. Warts may spread up inside the vagina and on the cervix. They may also cause abnormal Pap smears. During pregnancy warts may be treated so they do not spread or grow larger. In men, warts may spread inside the penis causing problems when they urinate. \n\nThe diagnosis of condylomata acuminata is usually made by a health care provider simply inspecting the genital area. Occasionally, they may want to remove a wart and send it to the lab for further tests. Because genital warts are a sexually transmitted disease other tests may be done for other sexually transmitted diseases such as gonorrhea, Chlamydia, syphilis, HIV and hepatitis. \n\nTreatment.\nGenital warts are frustrating for you to have and frustrating for doctors to treat. Some warts will disappear on their own. Others may come and go despite vigorous treatment. One of the most important things you can do is to KEEP YOUR APPOINTMENTS! The treatment is easier when the warts are small and few in number. There is no one magic treatment for genital warts. Many methods may be tried depending on where, how large and how long the warts have been there. \n\nCertain chemicals may be applied to smaller warts on moist areas. The most common chemical used is called TRICHLOROACETIC ACID (TCA). TCA is a clear, watery liquid that is painted on the warts. It causes a burning sensation as it dries. The warts will turn a whitish color, shrink and disappear. It will take weekly treatments for a number of weeks to get rid of the warts. \n\nAnother chemical, PODOPHYLLIN, is a brown liquid that may also be used. It also causes a burning sensation as it dries. It must be washed off with soap and water 4 to 6 hours after it has been applied. In certain circumstances, a preparation of this medication may be applied by the patient at home. \n\nIf TCA and PODOPHYLLIN do not work, the doctor may try freezing the wart with a treatment called CRYOTHERAPY, treating the affected area with topical 5FU CREAM, or performing laser surgery. Occasionally, INTERFERON injections are used if all other methods of treatment have failed. \n\nNone of the treatments mentioned here are a guarantee that the warts will never come back. Once the wart virus (HPV) is in the skin, genital warts may occur again and again. This may require numerous visits to the doctor and many months of treatment. We know this can be very discouraging, but remember -- warts are easier to treat when they are small and few in number. KEEP THOSE APPOINTMENTS! \n\nIf the condyloma do not respond to treatment, your doctor may refer you to the Colposcopy Clinic. There your vulva or cervix will be examined through a special scope that magnifies the area. Tissue samples (biopsies) may be taken for further study. The doctors can then recommend further treatment options. \n\nPrevention\nThere are two ways to prevent getting warts: \n\nUse condoms during sex. Protect yourself. \nCelibacy - not having sex. \nIf you have warts: \n\nAvoid sexual contact during treatment. \nIf your warts are recurrent or you have a

If you're not a virgin it could be syphilis, herpes, or HPV, gonorrhea or chlamydia.  If it looks like a pimple, it most likely is a folliculitis - this is benign, non-infectious, and self resolving.  If you think you could have an STD I recommend seeing a Dr.  All STD's are treatable to some extent, and without treatment some may have dire consequences - also, if you're under 18 (or over), your Dr is not legally permitted to discuss sexual health matters with your parent without your permission.

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.

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 (or condyloma) is a Sexually Transmitted Disease (STD) caused by the human papilloma virus (HPV). The virus may cause wart-like bumps to form on the penis, in and around the vagina, on the cervix (opening to the womb), around the anus (butt), and rarely on the mouth. The virus is passed between people during anal, vaginal, and sometimes oral sex. These are NOT the same warts commonly found on hands and feet.How are genital warts spread? \n\nMany people carry the wart virus on their penis, in and around the vagina, or in and around the anus/rectum. Only a small number of these people develop warts that can be seen. It is passed with skin to skin contact during anal or vaginal sex. The wart virus is very common in adults who are sexually active. \nHow do I know if I have warts? \n\nNot everyone with the genital wart virus will have signs of disease. You may have painless wart-like growths on or in your sex organs or around your anus (butt). The warts may vary in size and be bumpy or flat. Sometimes special tests are needed to detect the wart virus. \nAre genital warts serious? \n\nThey can be. For most people warts are only a bother, and are treated if you wish. If a woman has warts on the cervix (opening to the womb), they can be a problem. It is rare, but sometimes having warts can cause a woman to have a pap smear that is not normal, (including changes that may lead to cancer). For this reason, women with warts on the cervix should have a pap smear test (part of a pelvic exam) every six months to one year. Men and women who have warts on or inside the anus should have an exam every year. \nWhat can I do if I have genital warts? \n\nBe sure you see a clinician (licensed medical provider). \nKeep all your return treatment appointments. \nYour sex partner(s) should also be seen and treated. \nIf you may be pregnant, tell your clinician. \nIf you have sex, it is always a good idea to use a condom to avoid getting STDs. \nHowever, condom use is not a 100% protection from the wart virus. \nHow are genital warts treated? \n\nA clinician puts a cold liquid chemical on the warts to remove them. \nYou may need to come back more than once to finish the wart treatment. \nYou may need longer treatment if you have HIV. The warts may increase in size and number more quickly. Tell your clinician if you are HIV positive. \nWill the warts come back? \n\nWarts may return, even after treatment, this is because the virus stays in your skin once you are infected. You can pass the virus to your sex partners during vaginal or anal sex, even when you don't have warts you can see. \nHow can I avoid getting genital warts? \n\nCheck yourself often for signs of actual warts; these can be treated. But remember: we treat the wart, not the virus, which stays in the skin. \nUse condoms (rubbers) every time you have sex. Condoms reduce your risk for getting warts, but they won't guarantee protection. Condoms also help to prevent other STDS. \nRisk Factors for Cervical Cancer \n\nEarly onset of sexual intercourse \nMultiple sex partners (3+ lifetime) \nMale partners with multiple partners \nSexual partners of men whose previous sex partners developed cervical cancer \nCigarette smoking \nHistory of HPV infection

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 are caused by HPV (Human Papillomavirus). There are over 100 different kinds of HPV, only a few though cause genital warts.\n\nThere are a few ways to get rid of the warts, but HPV will stay with you the rest of your life because it is a virus. The warts can come back. You can have them lasered off, frozen off, or use topical medication (creams). Aldara 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.\n\nAs for syphillis, antibiotic treatment with penicillin will usually cure a syphilis infection. If syphilis has progressed to the tertiary stage, antibiotics can prevent further complications, but they cannot reverse damage that has already occurred. Prompt antibiotic treatment will decrease complications and prevent the spread of the infection.\n\nHope this helped!

yes, it is always caused by HPV, but that doesn't mean that an STD would have shown up before now.  HPV can be dormant for many years, I am not sure what triggers it, but according to some docs you could have had it for 10 years or more....do not worry yourself over this, it is very treatable...usually with a laser procedure called a Leep.

Are you sure it's not a wart or mole?  What ever it may be, you should have a doctor remove it since it is on your face.  You should never remove a growth on your face at home.

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.

im guessing its an ingrown pubic hair, put a good lotion or vaseline on it every day and see if you can see any hair in it. do you shave? if so dont for a week or so untill all your hair grows out and if you have any still growing under the skin scratch at them untill they come up and wait a few more days then scratch at the purple spot, if nothing comes up go to your doctor or school nurse and they can help with out telling your parents if your young and dont want them to know. you could have a blood blister also. have you gottan it pinched in anything lately? you can ask for a female doctor if you go to the hospital. male doctors see that kinna thing every day so they think nothing of it just try to find the cause, good luck! if its an ingrown hair you can use tweezers to get it out and then keep your pubic area moisturized with vaseline(works best) or lotion.

Some guys have bumps called "pearly penile papules" on their penises, which are normal growths that appear around the base of hair follicles. Also, another fairly common condition is infection of the sebaceous glands, or simply put, pimple-like growths. These infections respond to antibiotics. Both conditions are not unusual, but it is best to be evaluated by a clinician to determine a diagnosis and treatment, if any is necessary.\n\nRemember, some sexually transmitted infections, like herpes and genital warts, can be transmitted through close skin-to-skin contact, even if the person has never had intercourse.

Men as a general rule do not have symptoms, and never will get symptoms even though they know they have it.  He was probably under the assumption that if you don't see a wart, they aren't there and unfortunately even some Doctor's have been known to tell those with HPV and HSV that if there's no symptoms then they are fine (wrong I know, but I have been in doctor's offices and heard this for myself).  There's no girl going to believe you as all will think of you as a jealous ex.  All you can do is move on with your own life and be as happy as you possibly can.
