Help for Genital Warts

Over the counter medications should NOT be used for genital warts!
Over the counter medications like Compound W are meant for warts on the hands, feet, elbows, knees, etc. The medication is NOT intended for the genital area.
The genital area is a VERY sensitive area compared to other parts on the body like the hands and feet.
Compound W contains salicylic acid which literally causes the outer layer of skin to peel off. If it’s used too much it can even cause 2nd and 3rd degree burns. Could you imagine having 2nd and/or 3rd degree burns on your genital area? OUCH!
Aldara cream and Condylox lotion/gel can be used to treat genital/anal warts. These medications ARE intended for the genital area, but they require a prescription. Both of these medications can also cause 2nd and 3rd degree burns if used too much or incorrectly, so it’s important that the person using it reads the directions carefully.
I have personally used Aldara cream and I thought it worked great! It got rid of my warts after about 5 weeks of using it and they have never came back (luckily)!
Take care!

Can you give yourself genital warts?
If you been fingured by only one person and they never had sex or fingured someone,can they still give you genital warts?

I recenlty just hada breakout of genital warts. I may have gotten this virus a long time ago, about two years ago but just now is my first breakout. I also have diahrea and stomach pains and sore muscles. Could i be pregnant? I’ll take a test soon..just would like input. I’ve heard genital warts break out lots during pregnancy and I’ve had a rapid spread of them. I have like 30-40 of them within a month.

I saw that the history on my computer shows that my GF was looking up alot of information on genital warts I know I don’t have any. But the day she was looking the info up she had also gone for a check up at the doctors, and then next day she said that I have to start using condoms cause she was going off the pill?? Should I be worried? There’s a bunch of flags on the play.

Where could I have gotten it from if it is HPV? My mother is not infected. Is it possible by sharing soap with someone to contract it? Symptoms began way before sexual contact.
Also, if my partner has gotten the HPV Vaccine, is it safe to have sexual contact with her or is there still a chance for her to become infected?
Yes, I understand I must see a professional. Until then, I’m just curious.
