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! :)

Thanks for the reply!

Went to get checked out today and she said everything looks healthy and no sign of warts :)

Actually HPV should be skin coloured and such, anything else odd shouldn't be HPV. But I'm not expert, am glad everything is okay for you though! Yay!
