acyclovir for warts

a lesion lesion will not stick around that long. did you have any testing done? this sounds far more like warts than herpes. return to your provider for proper evaluation though if who you were seeing prescribed the almost worthless acyclovir cream for genital herpes treatment and didn't do testing in the first place, I'd pick somewhere else to be seen because it sounds like this provider isn't very familiar with std's and treatment/diagnosis.

I started taking acyclovir in June 2010 for episodes and then went on and started taking it in September for suppressive theraphy. The last outbreak I had was in November I have been having lesser outbreaks but when will I be outbreak free because I have been having outbreaks for 2 years and 3 months that is a long time to be still having outbreaks don't you think.

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?

that were continued to be treated with Acyclovir before I was told I also actually had a warts outbreak as well. The warts started rapidly spreading about 2months after the bumps appeared and after the first herpes outbreak. I have now had 4 herpes outbreaks (1 after starting maintenance acyclovir of 2 x 400mg per day) and 10 freezing treatments and nothing seems to be changing. I am on day 7 of the latest herpes outbreak and have been taking 5 x 400mg Acyclovir per day....

He tested me, and I came back positive for HSV2. I started taking suppressive meds (acyclovir 800mg/day). The bump popped, diminished, then a month later came back, still no itch, no pain. I'm thinking this is a HSV2 outbreak and treat it with increased acyclovir. 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.

«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.

I have had visible gential warts for over three years. In fact, March of 2010 will be the start of four years. I have tried EVERYTHING! Is it possible I will struggle like this forever?

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 went to the doctors to get checked out, and he took a look and prescribed me Acyclovir. I have been taking acyclovir for the past 20 days and my outbreak is still there no of the lesions have popped and gone away. I have been bringing a ton of water and not eating processed food. Shouldn't it have cleared up by now? This is my initial outbreak and like I said before it has been three weeks since the start of the outbreak now. Any advice would be appreciated.

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?

I was recently in the Caribean for an extended period of time and 1 month before I left I developed a rash on the tip of my penis. It also caused some discomfort. It does not itch. I have no pain when urinating. 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'm embarrassed to say that I don't remember for sure. I don't recall hearing the word "herpes" but I know for a fact I had genital warts and was treated for them for a while before they subsided and neither the warts, nor herpes, (if that's what it was) resurfaced again. The dermatologist I saw last week referred to my lesion or sore as "herpes." Thanks for your help.

I was diagnosed with genital warts in 1999 I was treated with aldara the warts didn't come back until years later and the outbreaks weren't that bad. The outbreaks would come every other year and go away without treatment. However, in August 2008 I started getting outbreaks and I thought it was genital warts but it turned out to be genital herpes and I am still having outbreaks my last outbreak was in November but I am on suppressive theraphy.

Thanks for the reply Grace, do you think these are genital warts?they are very small, and for sure, I will have genital warts because I asked that guy he had 4 while we had sex that time. I think mine is just developing. My next question is, if I will be healed in a month, I can't have sex anymore after that? is there a possibility to pass genital warts to the next partner even you are healed and warts are gone?

sex with a prostitute..protected(latex condoms)...oral for five minutes(protected)..vaginal intercourse(protected) for five minutes... condom was in place all the time.. considering she has hpv and herpes..both...(both active) what are the chances of transmission... "IN ONE(SINGLE) ENCOUNTER"..just one please reply and thanks! there is a doubt for lots of ppl regarding this.. replies will be appreciated!

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?

I had oral sex with someone and I developed after a week small white bumps on my lower lip and gums. The doctor has given me antibiotics, but it hasn't went away. He told me to take acyclovir and that didn't resolve the issue either... Now, he tried an oral fungal medication and that hasn't worked either. I am going nuts... I learned a big lesson from this.... But, what can this be???

You are not in mourning for anything except your unprotected sex life ...... for people who get HSV2 it is like closing the stable door after the horse has bolted and have to now do what we should have done in the first place and that is ....played safe and protected ourselves ..... We are all in charge of what we are prepared to risk and for all of us with HSV2 we took the risk of unprotected sex and are now paying the price for that so we have no one to blame but ourselves ...

virest is just a generic brand name for acyclovir. Acyclovir does not cure herpes. It impedes replication of the virus in the body but it still doesn't completely prevent shedding of the virus or stop ob's completely. It's a treatment, not a cure.

they didn't give you an acyclovir prescription to have on hand for recurrences?

I was using the wrong medications for about 2years and was wondering why my symptoms would not go away. I started using acyclovir tablets for episodes in June or August and then every month I would get an outbreak then I went on suppressive theraphy and I am still using it. What is the likelihood that I would be outbreak free.

s he was going to prescribe me 400mg acyclovir to take twice daily for suppression. My question is, how much of a reduced number of OB's should I expect and does taking this medication cause any birth defects as my wife and I are talking of maybe having another child. Thanks in advance.

I know there is no cure for it. However I just want this outbreak to go away. I've been taking acyclovir for 3 weeks now. Driving nothing but water and eating right. Shouldn't it have cleared up by now?

But, what can this be??? He just put me on Zithromax now... and told me to gargle with listerine several times a day....

one day i went to go check the pills she gave me because i was on birth control and wanted to know if it would affect it so i looked up the name acyclovir to find out it was for the herpes simplex virus....i freaked out and called and asked them why they gave me a pill for herpes if i didn't have that and the nurse on the phone told me that its for more than one thing and that its best not to google things cause it give me false indications.....
