Also I am wondering if I need to throw out my loofah/razors/etc as I am a little confused on how easily this can be picked up.



Thank you again!

Hi. You could try the Cure Hpv Method from this website.
( http://bit.ly/1ybr3bW ) . I heard a lot of ppl talking about it. It may be a good solution.

Ignore johnhenry's reply. It's a scam. One of those miracle cures trying to take advantage of your situation.

Waffles4Life I wrote a post a while back called Genital warts, what to expect and what worked for me. If you scroll back through the recent posts it should show up. I wrote it about a month ago. It might answer some of your questions.

It's always tough hearing this new for the first time. I remember when I first found out, I felt the same way. I felt depressed, dirty, sick to my stomach and so on and so forth. I found out I had them around Oct 2010. There at one point I had as many as 10-12 consistently. I did everything I could to treat them. I had the dr burn them off, only for them to come right back. I had topical solutions and applied it to them, only to have them come right back. I felt defeated. I did stuff like that for 6-9 months and I finally gave up trying to get rid of them. I learned to live with them. I got a nice routine as far as showering laundry and etc. I decided to eat healthier, work out more and just live a better lifestyle. Well around the beginning of 2012, I noticed they started to change colors. At first I was like "Oh shit, this is bad." Well, after a few weeks, they were gone completely! I haven't had a occurrence since.

So living with these sum bitches for so long, I did so much research and I will share that with you now.

DON'T GET DEPRESSED! HPV is really common, so much so that almost every American will get HPV in their lifetime. Not everyone will develop warts however. 14 million people are infected with hpv each year and 360,000 of those develop warts (39%). (CDC.com) So yes you will have HPV for the rest of your life, but almost everyone will as well. The only thing, most people don't know they have it because they don't have symptoms (warts).

YOU WILL GET RID OF WARTS! The key is to live a better lifestyle. Don't waste money on miracle cures or gimmicks. The best way to get rid of warts is naturally through your immune system. Eat better, exercise and get plenty of sleep. The healthier you are, the better your immune system will be. Plain and simple. I know you wont these gone asap, but give you body time and let it do its thing.

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THEY COME BACK? Chances are they won't. HPV is a virus, so yes you will have HPV forever, but you will not have warts forever. Think of it as a sexually transmitted chicken pox. You get the virus, you have chicken pox and then they go away. You will probably never get chicken pox again but you will always have the virus in your body. The only way you could get warts again will be to
exposed to a different strand of HPV. Even then the chances are slim. Again, the key is to have a healthy immune system.

WHAT ROUTINE SHOULD I GET IN SO THEY DON"T SPREAD? Find what works for you, but I will explain what I did.
-Shaving. I barely shaved. Why would I care if I had a bush? I wasn't having sex anyways. When I did, i used a cheap electric razor. I used it only for the infected area and no where else.
-Loofas/rags etc. I didn't use them on my infected area. This is where I was kinda weird. I would bathe normally with my loofa for everything except my privates. After doing that, I would put the body wash on my hands and wash my privates with my hands. After I was done, I had dial soap in my shower I would use to wash my hands. I would then get out, and dry my privates with papertowels and throw them in a grocery bag. I would then use hand sanitizer. After that, i would dry the rest of my body off with my towel. Did I have to go through all of this? Probably not but it made me feel better.

That's good you told him, it's tough confiding in people. It's always nice to have support. Just keep your head up and if you any questions feel free to ask. The main thing is to know that it's always the darkest before the sun rises. Things will get better. Hope I helped.

I felt the same way when I was diagnosed in August of '13. I tried acid, but my sensitive skin reacted horribly and my OB didn't feel comfortable continuing treatment. My son got super sick a few months after I was diagnosed, so my GW were no longer a concern of mine. Once my son was healthy again last June, I went back to my OB and we tried Condylox. Minor discomfort with application and moderate to severe discomfort on day 3/4 each week, but worked very quickly and well with all of my tiny GW. There was one, though, that continued to be a pain. So I just started aldara. I just finished the first week of treatment (cannot believe I'm supposed to do this for 16 weeks) and so far the only negative side effect was sever itching during the night. But as soon as I washed in the morning, I was fine.

I still have moments of shame and frustration. However, I'm starting to get close to acceptance. I mean, really... It's a small bump. What's so terrible about that? ;)

Gentle support while you sort.

Actually what Johnhenry wrote is not a scam. I tested it and i have my warts completely gone. The thing is, the treatment is something natural that everyone that is infected with hpv can try. So that cure hpv method is really good.
