Warts caused by HPV. Diagnosis, removal options, recurrence, clearance and what to expect over time.
Two small flesh coloured bumps. They could be anything. I have been looking at pictures online for three weeks, which has helped nobody.
Trying to work out who to be upset with and I suspect the answer is nobody, but I would like to understand the timing.
Second night of the treatment I was given and the area is raw and sore. I cannot tell whether this is the treatment working or me…
Offered a cream to use at home or appointments to have them treated in clinic. No strong steer either way and I cannot work out how…
Six weeks of the immune type cream and they are smaller but still there. I was expecting them to be gone by now.
Had a couple before, now pregnant and they have multiplied noticeably. Is that a coincidence?
Nobody said either way. There is cream involved and lesions involved and I do not know what the rules are.
About to start treatment and I would rather know the real number now than be blindsided later. Everything I read says recurrence is common without saying…
Diagnosed with warts in and around the anus. Slightly different appointment from what friends described and I want to understand why.
Diagnosed with genital warts last month and I have gone down a very bad internet hole about HPV and cancer. Nobody at the appointment mentioned cancer…
My partner has HPV somewhere in the background according to a smear result, but no warts. I have warts. Am I the dangerous one in this…
Long relationship, warts appeared last month. I am trying not to jump to conclusions but the thought is there.
Diagnosed with warts, never vaccinated. Is there any point getting the vaccine now, or has that ship sailed?
No visible warts since the spring. New relationship starting and I do not know whether this is still something I have to raise or whether it…
Read in passing that smokers have a harder time with warts. True, or one of those things that gets said about everything?
Found at the opening and apparently extending inside. Told this needs a different approach. What does that actually involve?
Third freezing session and new ones have appeared each time about a fortnight later. It is starting to feel pointless and the appointments are wearing me…
Assumed a wart diagnosis would put me on a shorter screening interval. My clinic says no. Are they being complacent?
Assumed removing them would make me less contagious, then read something suggesting treatment is cosmetic. Which is it?
Wart gone, but the skin there is noticeably lighter than the rest. Is that permanent?
I shave regularly and new ones keep appearing in a line along where the razor goes. That cannot be a coincidence.
I have had recurring warts for two years. He has never had one. He is starting to think I am the problem and honestly so am…
Saw it mentioned and assumed it was a supplement scam. Then I saw it on a clinic list.
Getting a filling next month and now wondering whether this is something medical staff need to know.
Warts appeared in pregnancy and I have been told they often improve afterwards. Is that real or is it something people say to pregnant women?
