imiquimod for plantar warts

ive had this hole in my plantar of my foot for awhile and it seems to be getting deeper and looks simular to a wart and signs of seeds ( like a scab inside my foot) now its starting to make other on the left and right side. i dont know what to do or where to go.

t had other warts of the hands or feet. Your partner can expect the same outcome for her anogenital warts.

A plantar wart (also verruca plantaris or verruca) is a wart caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV) occurring on the sole or toes of the foot. Plantar warts are generally harmless and self-limiting, but should be treated to lessen symptoms (which may become painful)." Does that mean that anyone who has had a plantar wart has HPV and is contagious? Is this the same as genital HPV?

There are many forms of treatment for plantar and other warts. Some warts, including plantar warts, disappear without treatment. Home treatments include salicylic acid and tape occlusion. A doctor can also prescribe prescription or over-the-counter medications to help heal plantar warts. A physician can also use an electrical current to burn a wart or laser surgery. Cryotherapy involves using a freezing liquid to dissolve a wart.

I had a small group of warts on my genital area for years. I applied this cream for 3 times a day, and after 6 days the warts fell off naturally. I had tried Imiquimod, Aldara and some other creams for a while without seeing improvements. My girlfriend used Imiquimod and got positive results. Maybe, I was not so lucky.

There is no cure for HPV. Tiny amounts will always cling to DNA and for most people, the warts never return. He should visit his proctologist once a year for an inspection.

I recently found two small condylomas around my anus and was referred to a proctologist for treatment. I paid him a visit this past Thursday and he froze the warts and applied something for the pain then prescribed an ointment to be applied locally by myself during the next couple of days. I have a standing appointment now for this Monday However, besides treating the symptoms is there something I should additionally be prescribed by him?

HI I AM USING IMIQUIMOD ON MY GENITAL WARTS WHICH ARE AROUND 50 IN NUMBER VERY SMALL BUMPS. WILL I WILL GET RID OF WARTS SOON.

I was prescribed imiquimod to be applied 3 days a week but heard apple cider vinegar does a great job of clearing warts. Is it a good idea to apply the imiquimod mon,wed, fri night and apple cider vinegar tues, thurs, saturday nights? Anyone tried this or have any results from either one they would share?

I have very painful plantar warts at both feet for many years. I tried everything to get rid of them, nothing worked. Finally I had them digged out by a surgeon. It was a horrible procedure, it bleeded a lot and I had extreme pain for more than two weeks. They all came back, deeper and much more painful than before. Standing and walking on them is hellishly painful and after half an hour the pain is unbearable.

I was prescribed Aldara (imiquimod) to get rid of a few perianal HPV warts since cryotherapy was only making it worse. After only about 2 weeks of usage almost all symptoms of the warts were gone however I now have perianal psoriasis in its place. That is one of the side-effects of imiquimod and it mainly strikes people whom are genetically prone to having psoriasis.

Can a Plantar Wart be spread to someone, causing them to have either a wart on their face or body? Or are Plantar Warts spread as Plantar Warts? (If one touches the surface of an object that a plantar wart has touched, can one contract a wart on their face? or is it only possible to contract a plantar wart?

thanks for the comment and suggestion guys :)

2, Is it useful for me to use Imiquimod with no genital warts? Or does Imiquimod useful to help me clear the hpv virus in three months? 3, I also have an ulcers on my penis a week ago which can be seen when it's wet (it become white), and it disappear after 5 days. I kind of thought it's because of the allergy of Imiquimod. But does herpes appear 3 months after the sex?

Last January however I noticed more appearing. I never for a moment even thought they were warts until I saw an episode of Girls and the subject was genital warts..I began to panic and scheduled an appt with my nurse practitioner. Upon examination she thought they were skin tags and gave me a test to rule out warts. Little did I know then there was no such test. A few days later I received a call from my Dr's office saying the test came back negative.

Ive had them myself and compound W can really get rid of them. Just place the medicated pad over it and in about 2 days the acid has dissolved it and pops up leaving a hole. Really great stuff.

Ive been on aldara (imiquimod) 5% for approximately 2 months now. I cant notice if im seeing any improvement with my genital warts. However, ive developed a ridiculous rash around the application site. which is extremely red and irritated. The rash looks almost like if i ran really fast and slid my knee on a rug, except its around the base of my penis. Its sometimes itchy and i feel as if at sometimes its developing a particular scab. will this redness ever go away?

I would think it reasonable to apply the medication to the areas that had visible warts for 2-3 treatments after the warts seem to be gone, but probably it isn't necessary to go beyond that. 5) Missing. 6) Because of imiquimod's immunologic mechanism, it is often assumed (hoped might be a better word) that it might be associated with fewer recurrences than other wart treatments, and in its marketing efforts the manufacturer is happy to let people think so.

Imiquimod (Aldara, Zyclara), Podophyllin and podofilox (Condylox) - should be administered by a doctor. Trichloroacetic acid (TCA)- must be applied by a doctor. Surgery: Freezing with liquid nitrogen (cryotherapy) , Electrocautery, Surgical excision and Laser treatments. Use a condom while having intercourse.

Hello, The strain of virus causing plantar warts is different from the ones causing genital warts but the chances of transmission of HPV from foot to the skin of genitalia are always there although less than 1% chances are there. I hope it helps. Take care and regards.

Hello, Can anyone describe their experiences with Imiquimod? I am on the 3.75% cream which my doctor has told me to use every other day for a month. In the first 2 weeks, nothing happened, only just a couple days ago I noticed a very slight indication that the medication might be working, but I'm still not sure. I have about 20-30 very small warts, and notice 2 or 3 of them showing a bit of redness and drying up a bit. Still not sure if this is due to the medication.

Plantar warts are found on the feet. The only way to know for sure if this is genital warts is to get it biopsied for a strain. I doubt any doctor will do that, but you can ask. If its in the genital area, its most likely genital warts.

Plantar warts grow on the plantar, or bottom surface of the foot. They usually tend to be found in areas of pressure such as the heel and ball of the foot. Plantar warts grow into the deeper layers of skin because of the pressure they receive because of their location. Warts may go away on their own but if it is causing severe pain then treatment may be needed to lessen symptoms. Keep your feet dry. Plantar fibromas are usually seen arising from the plantar fascia.

I have had genital warts for over a year. I can trace my aquisition of HPV to an encounter 2 months before my first outbreak. I have had all visible warts frozen off 8-9 times this past year and they keep coming back. I have completed 2 courses of therapy on Aldara and that just seemed to make the warts grow faster. I have used salicylic acid, 4 weeks of duct tape occulsion therapy and have started regularly taking echinacea to boost my immune system.

I was successfully treated with Imiquimod cream for 3 weeks and confirmed that all visible warts had cleared. 6 months later I noticed 2 bumps in the perianal region (not where my original outbreak occurred and very unlike the vaginal warts) and sought treatment at Planned Parenthood where the practitioner removed them with TCA thinking that they could be HPV warts. 2 months ago, I noticed a very tiny bump near my anus and went in to Planned Parenthood again to have that looked at.

Also, the use of latex condoms during the recovery period has been shown to help your body prevent more warts. For some people, this recovery period is longer (2 years) and for some it is shorter (2-6 months). No one knows where they fit in but if you have been having un-safe sex than it is possible that your body can't fight it due to the sex and you need more time to recover than others.
