Human papillomavirus is a diverse group of DNA-based viruses that infect the skin and mucous membranes of humans. More than 100 different human papillomavirus (HPV) types have been characterized.

Hi,
I am going to keep this short and sweet.
I had genital warts. They were painful and uncomfortable, casing me near constant itching/tingling and a pricking sensation. After numerous cryosurgery treatments, they finally disappeared. They have gone. I have no visible genital warts. However, I still feel the same itching/tingling/pricking sensations in the area. The pain and discomfort are still there.
Would this indicate that I still have active HPV underneath the recently healed skin? I am pretty sure I can feel the continued presence of the virus/infection. If so, what can i do to relieve the pain/discomfort? Is there a natural remedy that I can apply directly to the area to help kill the virus from my skin?
Also, I eat well (I am a non-dairy/egg-eating pescetarian, I avoid wheat/gluten/soya, I eat lots of fruits and veg), take supplements and exercise regularly. I am more concerned about applying a treatment to the area than ways to boost my overall immune system, right now.
This has been driving me crazy. I really thought my vagina would go back the normal the moment the warts disappeared, but apparently not. It looks back to normal pretty much, but doesn't at all feel it.
Please share your thoughts.
