Hello - Are you seeing a doctor? I have high risk HPV (the strains that cause cancer, not warts) but I think there are prescription wart removing creams. Also, I think a doctor can cut, burn, or freeze off the warts too. I've read some posts where people have used apple cider vinegar as a home remedy. but you should ask your doctor what she thinks is the best remedy for you.

I've been told that HPV viruses can become inactive and that the immune system is the determining factor on whether or not they becomes active again. If you want your body to clear HPV virus (which is really just having it become inactive because it doesnt really ever disappear from your body, it just kind of hibernates) you have to focus on strengthening your immune system. Get adequate sleep on a regular basis, moderate exercise, healthy eating, low stress, low sugar (including processed carbs) no alcohol, no smoking - etc. Watch some comedies or stand up comedians on Netflix because laughter helps immunity - seriously, it does. Try everything you can to make yourself strong and healthy.

Please have NO SHAME - there is no shame involved in HPV. You need to re-direct your attention and focus on working towards everything you CAN do to help yourself and stop feeling unwarranted shame. It does nothing positive to dwell on something you cannot change.. You need to become a warrior and fight the beast that is HPV. You are a dragon slayer - think of it in those terms. Please dont waste your valuable energy and time on shame - it isnt warranted and wont help you. You can do this,

I also have high-risk hpv and am working on the shame aspect. My husband says so many people have hpv so he isn't ashamed. I was thinking the other day that they didn't offer a vaccination to me when I was younger and so society should be much more sympathetic to my situation if they knew.

Today I am still struggling with healthy food preparation as I don't feel I have time. I hope it gets easier...

Also, even though you might have been offered the vaccine, you shouldn't be ashamed because 80% of adults of reproduction age have some form of hpv.

The current HPV vaccines only offer protection against either 2, 4, or 9 of the high-risk strains of HPV linked with cancer depending on which vaccine you could have been given and the vaccine offers no protection against the warts caused by HPV, so even with the vaccine you could be in the exact situation you are currently in so stop dwelling on the past because you cannot change the past.

I hope everyone stops worrying about society's view of their situation. It is pointless to worry about what others think about you. It serves NO PURPOSE. You are wasting your life energy on something that is not productive, in fact, it is counter productive because it is causing you stress which is harmful to your immunity. You are not a serial killer, a thief, a mean person, or an evil person with bad intentions and the desire to hurt others so stop having shame. You have a virus, there is no shame.

Have you heard this expression... “You probably wouldn’t worry about what people think of you if you could know how seldom they do." People are worried about their own life problems and most likely arent genuinely wasting too much of their time casting judgement on you. You are creating this turmoil in your own mind so please stop doing this.

Did you read the story of Ann Frank in Junior High School? It is the true story of a young girl hiding in an attic from the Nazis. Her life was on the edge of death and destruction literally every minute of every day and she kept a journal. In her journal she wrote "What is done cannot be undone" Such wisdom for a young girl in such a truly dire situation. Please take strength from people like her... What is done cannot be undone. Please focus your energy and effort on doing things you can do to help yourself.

You are young women with a long life ahead of you. Please dont waste your precious moments.

Hey! I tried tea tree oil for a few weeks and saw no noticeable change. What I did instead was begin drinking approx 2 cups a green tea a day as well as garlic supplements. I took 9% hydrogen peroxide and diluted it slightly (this may be too harsh for your skin so I recommend you start off with 3% and see how that works for you) , soaked a cotton ball with it and placed this on the warts for about 15-20 minutes twice a day- once in the morning, once in the evening. After ensuring I dried myself fully, I then placed the tea tree oil (which I diluted in a carrier oil such as olive oil- 1 drop tea tree to one drop olive). I began seeing results and in about a month or two they were completely gone. Keeping your immune system strong is a key factor in getting rid of them.
