Hi all!

I am going to get it checked out next week but just wondered on your opinions...

I have been clear of genital warts for 15months, after a lot of treatments; finally aldara worked!

Anyway... yesterday was doing my check for warts and noticed a tiny flat purple/dark brown spot.

has anyone had a wart appear like this at all?

thanks

hi. i had many different types of treatment for my infection. (including laser surgery and aldara) i've also been clear over 15 months. i did notice a couple of small purple/brown spots after my surgery. when i talked to my doctor about them after my laser surgery, he couldn't even see them. they havent changed at all and appear to be just moles or something like that.

hopefully your doctor will take a look and tell you they are nothing. good luck! :)

    Is anyone here allergic to Sulfa that is currently taking Diamox? I have been diagnosed with IH now for almost 2 years. I am allergic to Sulfa drugs meaning that my throat will swell up so my Neurologist put me on Topamax. I was suffering from major loud whoosing noises and the topamax helped that but everyday I still hear those mainly between 6 - 12 pm. I am at my wits end and have not went...
