Avatar m tn My girlfriend was recently diagnosed with genital warts. She has six warts in different places. One is by her vagina and the rest are by her anus. Her doctor told her she can treat the warts, but that things like stress, pregnancy and illnesses can make them come back.
736128 tn?1232158671 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.
Avatar m tn To cure stubborn warts, an OTC topical cream called Vidarox may work better. 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.
Avatar m tn If you are using imiquimod cream to treat genital and anal warts, you will probably apply it once a day for 3 days a week (e.g., Monday, Wednesday, and Friday or Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday). Imiquimod cream should be left on the skin for 6 to 10 hours. Continue using imiquimod until all of the warts are healed, i found this on a website. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.

Avatar f tn 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?
Avatar f tn 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?
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar f tn 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?
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar n tn 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.
Avatar f tn warts are due to HPV virus, they develop and dont clear or reappear from time to time in people with damaged immune system due to unhealthy diet and life styles it is treated by imiquimod an interferon inducer cream, while doing imiquimod vitamin c by liposoms or injection (not normal vit c which is not absorbed by the stomach, only 10-16% gets absorbed by stomach), vitamin d3, good diet of fresh vegetables only, very little meat, sugars, fats, good sleep 8hrs minimum
Avatar m tn 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?
Avatar f tn I was referred to a gynecologist who suggested trying imiquimod. I decided to try tea tree oil, before trying imiquimod. The tea tree seemed to increase the itch, so I filled the imiquimod. I've since tried one application, I should be applying again this evening, but this point I am so stressed about the whole ordeal, I am thinking I should just get them surgically removed. They are now around my vaginal area, labia up to my anus (I apologize for being graffic...
Avatar m tn Are you sure they were plantar warts, instead of "normal" warts? I tried the Compound W liquid application route myself, for about 12 weeks. I was pretty good about following the instructions. However, at the end of that time (as recommended on the label), I still had the warts. Perhaps they were slightly smaller, or hadn't grown during the treatment, but I was pretty bummed that it didn't get rid of them. I may try the pads instead.....
Avatar n tn 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?
Avatar m tn 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.
1415174 tn?1453243103 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.
Avatar m tn 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.
Avatar m tn getting the vaccine after you've had warts is a little late. typically if you've had warts, we no longer recommend the vaccine. you can discuss with your provider if it's worthwhile getting the vaccine to help prevent future infection with the 2 types associated with oral and genital cancers. will your warts come back? only time will tell.
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar m tn I got my first genital warts about 4 years ago. I had several that popped up and spread pretty rapidly at first (like 6-7 of them) and got them burned off by a doctor. Then I had a second outbreak with several more, and again got them burned off. The doctor then prescribed me with imiquimod in case any others popped up after that.
Avatar m tn t have other symptom like fever,body rash,lymp node....it almost two months with the warts without other symptom.I have read that the PLANTAR WARTS causes as below: A wart develops when a human papillomavirus infects the outermost layer of skin and causes the skin cells to grow rapidly. The virus can then spread from an existing wart to other areas of the body, People with weaked immum system is high risk to get plantar warts such as HIV infected person. My questions : 1.
