«The first medicine used to treat genital warts was called acyclovir. acyclovir is a topical ointment that can be prescribed by a doctor to treat a variety of infections, including HPV. It is also used for chickenpox, shingles, and herpes infections in the skin and on the lips. acyclovir does not cure herpes in patients; its purpose is to provide relief and reduce the severity and longevity of the symptoms. It can speed up the healing time of the warts faster than other solutions, as well.

When I looked at my anus today I saw what looks like little purple grapes bubbling up around the opening. There are no scabs. Could these be Herpes lesions or Anal warts? I have had hemorrhoids in the past, but I don't recall there being so many bumps. These do look a little bit like varicose veins. I'm worried that she could have had Herpes Whitlow on her finger and that it was shedding without any visible lesions. Is is possible to Herpes this way?

Also, I recently got a wart on my hand and I have NEVER had a wart before in my life. Is is possible AT ALL for genital herpes to cause a wart on my hand? I've heard yes and I've heard no. I know its super uncommon but I really think that I am that one in a million person I've read about that got a false positive on a hsv culture. It's not like I'm one of those people hoping it was wrong so I can be sure I have no STDs because I know I do, obviously there is something visually wrong.

I was experiencing some skin protruding on the left side cut I had before, i had 1 tiny bump like skin tag, but not hanging, and 2 like warts but doesn't look warts and I can't explain, it's a bit rough, not even look like blisters, I am always checking my vagina if I have some warts inside or in vulva and i have nothing. Please help me .. I am freaking out.

I had genital warts 2 years ago and have had intermittent small soft warts which I've treated with aldara or condylox. When I treat it with these medications it tends to irritate/burn and ulcerate/erode a bit before healing. Recently I've had a lot of irritation between on the penis shaft and corresponding areas of the scrotum since june. it has been nearly continuous. I have had oral sex twice this year, before this all started.

Hello, To prevent frequent recurrence of genital warts, one can take medicines like acyclovir, famciclovir, and valacyclovir. This is known as suppressive therapy and is very much effective in preventing recurrences. My advice is to consult a dermatologist and get it prescribed. I hope it helps. Take care and please do keep us posted on how you are doing or if you have any additional doubts. Kind regards.

Back in june 06' i went to the doctor for a little blackhead looking thing on my lip. he said its a cyst dont worry about it...three months later it started to swell up so i went back to the same pyhsicians office but a diff. doctor and he diagnosed me with hsv1 on the spot but ran the labwork just to be sure. & Sure enough it was HSV1. He prescribed Valtrex and Denivir. I used both medications as prescribed and nothing happened.

HPV-16 doesn't cause warts. If she has HPV-16 and warts, she has two separate HPV infections. Almost all genital warts are caused by HPV types 6 or 11. To your specific questions: 1) I'm not sure where the herpes question comes from. You describe nothing that suggests your wife has genital herpes. But yes, it is possible to have HSV-1 both orally and genitally. But only if they are caught at the same time.

Time goes by and I'm asking questions on the HSV bulletin boards, and its not adding up. Finally I figure out it must be a wart. I get the medicine and the wart goes away in 3 days. I'm convinced now that I was infected for the whole period, although for much of it there was no visible wart, only a bump below the skin. Now the question... Over a period of 16 weeks I had sex with my lady 16 times always unprotected.

new boyfriend had penis warts burned off...it tested positive for herpes 3 years ago was also given acyclovir at the time....he later tested negative and has not had a outbreak in any manner....we just met....im going through menapause where if i dont have sex for a while i do bleed a little.( have not had sex in a few months and not yet with him) ..and dry...after more sex with regular partner it feels great but once in a while spot bleed.....

I went to Mexico to get tested for stds (on june 1, 2012) because I had a genital wart and was not sure what it was at the time all tests were negative except for hpv and hsv 2. for hpv I had type 11 and for hsv 2 I had positive 1.3. Shortly after my doctor prescribed acyclovir 200mg 4x a day.

i had a shiny hump on the left side of my urethral lining, i visited my doctor about two months ago and he suggested that it was herpes ulcer and prescribed acyclovir cream. now its all reddish inside but the left hump has decreased in size j but the seam to be some fleshy stuff growing on the right side, causes a tingly sensation and at time discomfort pain like i touched it with chillies on my fingers. i am confused , could this really be herpes or warts.

HERE IS A PICTURE OF THIS, SERIOUS ANWSERS PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!

Btw I had been applying aldara to the warts and I have been wart free for 1 month and no recurrence. My question is should I retest for hsv and how reliable are the results if I had been taking acyclovir on and off?

typically we assume that if warts haven't reoccurred in a year, you've cleared the virus on your own and no need to worry. since it's the herpes forum - what dose of acyclovir are you taking? fyi - acyclovir is what is working for your herpes, not the lysine. have you ever read the free herpes handbook we recommend in our read before posting post on the forum?

What removes warts? the interferon? Thankfully don't have those.

However the whole time I was using aldara, condylox, podofilox, TCA treatments but the outbreaks kept coming each month and it was stressing me out because I never experienced outbreaks like this before even when I had the warts. I was so sure it was genital warts. My clincian had put me on acyclovir for episodes at first then I went on suppressive theraphy and is still taking it.

sac always looks like it has goose bumps on it. I'll get an occasional tiny wart (looks like a skin tag) and hope it goes away quickly, but often one or two are prevalent. In the beginning I used Condolox to remove these small warts but it often only works temporally until another one pops up. I WISH MY PENIS LOOKED NORMAL...I WOULDN'T MIND THE OUTBREAKS AS MUCH!!! I hate looking at these goose bumps and my urologist doesn't understand how crazy it gets me.

I did have abnormal paps consistently over 10 years ago. I was treated for HPV and genital warts at that time. I have had normal paps for awhile now. My symptoms start usually right after my period ENDS. I have heavy cramping, itching, discharge and pelvic discomfort. This can last the rest of my cycle until my period begins again. Any information anyone has on this would be greatly appreciated.

I have been to the doctor and have taken Ampicillin, metronidazole, acyclovir, ketoconazole in that order. I recently went to the Dermatoligist and he gave me Cloderm to apply to the infected area. Now it is spreading down the penis. I have also had tingling in my fingers and toes but I'm not sure if that is related. I am also very sensitive to Poison Ivy. Can you help me?

I also had a few spots on my genital area that my doctor thought were genital warts. He froze them. I later had an outbreak of some sort above the scrotal area. It was somewhat like a rash, kind of red and spotty. About 8 weeks after the initial test I started acyclovir. The rash/whatever began to clear, but before it did I had the doctor do a biopsy. One came back as molluscum (at the base of my penis). The other was keratosis. That was 20 weeks ago.

on my left hand on every finger i have cluster warts..i have one on my pinky finger that is so painfull. even if i bump it is hurts likes really bad, i have had them burnt off cut off and still comes back..i have appt. with another dermatologist, my nails are flat now and i have lost my cuticle...is all this pain im gonna have to endure going to be worth it??

I want to know if you receive a low HSV2 reading and the doctor tells you to take Valtrex for 2 months and then we will retest to see if it is gone, what does this mean? I have no lisions, warts, or anything I see others mentioning and have never had them.

From the pictures I have seen on the internet it looks like it might be genital warts but I don't know. Do genital warts feel hard and rough. I just can't believe he would have unprotected sex with someone if he knew he had genital warts. I had a pap at the end of August that came back normal but I have read that HPV has an incubation period of weeks to months or maybe years. I called a clinic today and the nurse told me there is no way of knowing if I have HPV unless I get warts.

I went to the hospital where i was dismissed with a prescription of acyclovir 200 and some Zovirax cream. The doctor never did any blood test he simply looked and told me it was herpes. About two weeks later I went to my regular gynecologist for a refill of my prescription. My doctor said he didn’t think I had herpes because i had gotten tested not long ago and it came back negative. When the results came back he told me the herpes came back negative but I was HPV positive.

In any case, even if they were warts, it shouldn't be any big deal for you. genital warts are a minor inconvenience, not a serious health threat. Now that the bumps are gone, this should no longer be any kind of concern for you. My guess is that your other doctors have said pretty much the same thing. I hope this helps.

I'm menopausal, in my mid-50's and my dermatologist, treating me for some psoriasis on my buttocks, indicated I had a herpes sore on the left one. He gave me acyclovir (5 pills a day) and I am on the third day. I have developed another sore on the other buttock and can't tell if it is herpes or not. I began waking up in the middle of the night a couple of weeks ago with terrible pain in the left buttock that sometimes travelled down my leg.
