How To Live With Genital Warts/Using Aldara Cream

I just found out 2 days ago that I have genital warts. I have been so depressed since I found out and was wondering how other people are coping.
I was prescribed Aldara and used it the day I was diagnosed and have never felt such pain in my life. I can't sit. It burns and stings and I wonder how I can even bear to continue the treatment for the next 4 weeks. Hopefully there is someone out there who can offer some words of wisdom and encouragement. Thank-you.

its really hard to accept this process. i have had warts for the last year and i've tried freezing, acid, and even thought about surgery. i hate them and it puts a dampen on my sex life tremendously. even tho all thats happened, i still walk with my head up. things happen for a reason in life. only thing we can do is try to press on and enjoy whats left.

I found out I had genital herpes type 1 and I hadn't even had sex for six months prior. I was so depressed. I wasn't even prescribed medication at first because the MD didn't think I had it. So I went a week and a half with no meds as I got worse and had developed so many painful vessicals. It hurt to sit, I used zinc oxide ointment a thick layer and wore a Kotex which helped

Have you tested for hpv? I also realised the genital warts where i requested hpv test and diognosed for 2 high risk of hpv which causes cancer however it does not cause warts.it seems hpv that causes warts are 10 and 11 if i am not mistaken and cannot be identified as it is not in high risk group. So i have learned that i carry 10 or 11 together with hpv 58 and 68.thanks to my wart i am aware of mt std now.i dont use any cream myself.my doctor applies medication once a week which i visitied 5 times already and my warts are almost gone.i heard it repeats and i hope it does not but suggest you to tested.

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
