Do warts ever go away by themselves?

Sometimes if it small. Large warts can actually get knocked off and not come back, a friend of mine had a big wart on his finger and we were playing basket ball, we seen his finger bleeding and he had knocked the wart off never to come back. If, it been there for 2 years it has probably Homesteaded. Many ways to approach this if you want to remove yourself. One, freeze with dry ice, be sure not to touch the ice with bare hands and holding with tweezers/etc. freeze only the wart. Two, take a teaspoon and heat over a fire (Kitchen if possible) then with the rounded side of the spoon burn the wart. Three, cut it off, may take the help of another person, how this work; use needle nose pliers or something to hold the wart and pull it up, then take a razor blade and cut, you may need to feel for where it at, but, usually if done correct you get the roots and it never come back and sometimes not leave a scar. Wart remover can work, the spray stuff do the same as dry ice.

It's acidic.  It doesn't kill it. The virus lays dormant.  This may sound strange but duct tape works best.  Cut a circle of duct tape slightly larger than the wart and change the duct tape every 5 days (or if it falls off)  until the wart is gone.  You'll be amazed!

Yes.  It's a viral infection, meaning that it will not go away.  Just because someone doesn not have symptoms, that doesn't mean they can't pass the virus onto anyone else.  Viral shedding means that your body is actively shedding the virus through your skin.  This usually occurs throughout the year, and you really can't pinpoint that t

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.

I read an article that putting a small piece of duct tape on the wart will eventually get rid of it.  It is supposed to activate your body to fight the wart, and the result of this method is less scars.

No, any sort of sexual contact with the warts will do it, even sharing a bath towel, though that would be unusual.  \nThis site has lots of great information.  Remember, knowledge is power!

well your doctor should have told you about prescription creams.  Warts do return, so you can get them removed again, if it is only pigmentation then I don't know but if they are warts again use: Imiquimod (Aldara), Podpophylin, , Trichloraccetic acid, Cidofovir gel.  You're doc should prescribe one of these if they are warts again.  Don't know about discoloration but keep using the creams till they disappear, if they can.\n\nAnd also, warts are not permanent, the virus is.

Wart and polyp growths generally do not regress on their own. You need to have them surgically or chemically removed. Your doctor can do this, just go make an appointment. It's a quick procedure.

as the lady said on bikini line its ingrowers. if they are around the hole lips etc and are not painful but slightly irritable then they are more than likely warts. although called warts they dont always look like warts you get on your hand.\ni had them and they were just little bumps, they were not big enough to have burnt off ( which is sometimes the case) the doc just painted them i left them for a week then used a cream for 3 days now they are gone. once you have them once they could easily come back but also may never come back. most people carry the infection but they do not always come out

Warts are typically caused by HPV, human papilloma virus.  In your particular case, being female that is... HPV is also a major cause of Cervical cancer.\n\nIt should clear up after some time... like a month or so.  However, you won't ever truly be rid of the virus... majority of the time that is.  It stays in a latent phase within cells near the warts/lesions it causes.\n\nBut, definately keep vigilant for the possibility of cervical cancer.  Not garaunteed to occur, it depends on what type of HPV you have.  \n\nHowever, cold sores are caused by HSV, herpes simplex virus.  You should also be aware that there is no getting rid of herpes... as of yet.\n\nThere are typically clinics around that you can go to where you are anonymous.  And no it doesn't matter the type of sex... oral or the normal kind.\n\nP.S.\nDon't beat your bf too hard.

Genital warts (or condyloma, or condylomata acuminata) is a highly contagious sexually transmitted infection. Caused by some variants of the Human papillomavirus, typically HPV 6 and HPV 11, it is spread during oral, genital, or anal sex with an infected partner. \n\nGenital warts often disappear even without treatment. In other cases, they eventually may develop a fleshy, small raised growth. 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% podophyllin anti-mitotic solution, which you can apply to the affected area and later wash off \nA 0.5% podofilox solution, applied to the affected area but shouldn’t be washed off \nA 5% 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) cream \nTrichloroacetic acid (TCA) \nPulsed dye laser \nLiquid nitrogen cryosurgery \n\nAlthough treatments can get rid of the warts, they do not get rid of the HPV virus, so warts can recur after treatment. The body's immune system typically clears the virus anywhere from 6 months to two years, but it occasionally remains in the body for a lifetime.[1] The state of the immune system determines the chances of ridding the virus entirely, and can be affected by factors such as HIV infection, certain medications, stress, or illness.[2] There is even some suggestion that effective treatment of the wart may aid the body's immune response.

I have (or had..not sure if it actually ever goes away) HPV and gave vaginal birth to both of my children. I never got warts or anything from it though. Just some bad cells on my cervix. And the last stats I can remember hearing about HPV is that somewhere around 85% of women have it.

Don't let these people freak you out with the herpes virus.\n\nTons of people have some form of it, and a sore on your toungue/cold sore/etc. ARE varieties of it. Don't worry, it will go away on it's own. \n\nIt's mostly common in children. Just give it time and let it go away on it's own. Everyone gets them from time to time.

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.
