Help Our Community Answer Your Questions Better By Including In Your Post: Gender, Have You Been Tested For An STD Yet?
Type Of STD Tests and Results? Any Medications To Control Your STD?
I consider myself pretty healthy (i'm only 110 lbs, excersise moderately, eat decently, don't smoke/hardly drink), but little warts keep popping up as soon as I get rid of one.
I'm taking so many vitamins it's unreal, haha. I take a multivitamin as well as an excess of beta-carotene, Vitamin C, Vitamin D, Folic Acid, and Echinacea.
I've used the ACV cottonball thing a few times, and then I've also used bleach which seemed to work really well (especially after having ACV applied to a wart for a few hours)... downfall is that obviously, bleach BURNS after a couple days (surprisingly, ACV treatments alone don't seem to do anything - they don't even burn! - but applying bleach a few times a day has worked - and burned).
For 3 days, I've been drinking a few tablespoons of ACV because of it's numerous health benefits, but it's absolutely DISGUSTING and I've gagged everytime.
To wrap up this unnecessarily long post, I'm definitely going to take the ACV supplements instead of drinking this god-awful tasting stuff... I had no idea that they actually had ACV supplements so THANK YOU! I hope this works!
It's painful to read all that you've been through to rid yourself of genital warts. I highly suggest going to see a dermatologist. They will freeze it off in less than 5 mins and your Medical should cover it. If not it's approx. $100. I did this last week and it wasn't as painful as I imagined.
Regarding your oral sex question, it is rare for someone to contract genital warts in their mouth, BUT it is possible. I would let your partner decide after you give them the facts and would also make sure you are not exhibiting any signs of warts when you receive oral sex even though you are still able to pass it on.
I am really hoping freezing works..
I had a biopsy done today...OMG is all i have to say...it looks as if my poor area got into a boxing match with sumthing awful! My gut is telling me that thats wut i have and ive already been through the hysterical crying for weeks thing...but im just soooo afraid that once i hear them say its 100% that, that i will go through the whole process of feeling discusting all over again. I would wake up every morning feeling nauseas and discusted of being in my own skin!!!! How do you handle the feeling?!!

I've heard that the reason this works is this: when the very acidic ACV is applied to the skin, it causes an irritation to the skin, which invokes an immune system response in that area. The immune cells come in full force (since ACV is so acidic) and when the arrive at the location, they attack the HPV virus, thinking that the HPV is what caused the irritation. Thus, I imagine that keeping this treatment up for a few weeks should suffice to remove the warts, and hopefully, keeping the treatment up for a few weeks after that should induce enough immune responses to kill the virus.
Hope that helps anyone who's reading...Considering I've had these things for a few years, $5 and a few weeks/months of my time is well worth it to get rid of the HPV. Also keep a good diet and vitamins.
