Question 1

how long does an hpv outbreak typically last?

Accepted Answer

Varying times. : There are more than 100 different types or hpv. Depending on where the infection is it may last as little as 6 months or as long as 10 years.   Cervical infections typically are cleared by the body after 8-10 months in roughly 70% of the time.

Question 2

could an outbreak of outer hpv be tiny and itchy?

Accepted Answer

Probably not: This is a repeat of a previous question. The answer is the same:

Genital warts and other HPV lesions usually do not itch. Although warts can be very small, it's probably unlikely. See your doctor if you remain concerned about it.

Question 3

what can usento help with intense itching during a hpv outbreak?

Accepted Answer

Cold compress: The nerve endings sending the "itchy" message to the brain slow down if you apply cold to the area. Sometimes the sensation of cooler skin will mask the brains perception of the itch message. You can toss some ice cubes &amp; water in a heavy zip-lock bag, wrap it in a face cloth or kitchen towel &amp; it will act as a cool compress. Hydrocortizone cream may also help.

Question 4

is it possible for a man to have the hpv strain that causes warts but never have an outbreak?

Accepted Answer

Yes: You can have the HPV virus in your system &amp; be asymptomatic. Unfortunately, you can still spread the virus to others via sexual contact. This is why the vaccine is so important.

Question 5

what dr do i see for hpv and what are the procedures for wart removal and are there any perscribed pill to help prevent another outbreak?

Accepted Answer

HPV treatment: Which dr to see depends on where hpv infection is. Cervical-gyn, rectal-colorectal surgery, skin and mucous membranes-dermatologist. Hpv on the skin is treated with liquid nitrogen, shave removal, Imiquimod (stimulates immune system attack on hpv), topical meds that cause destruction of warts, like podofilox, cantherone, injections of immune systems stimulants like candida, lasers. Lots of methods.

Question 6

i was diagnosed with non-cancerous anal hpv 3 years ago. now i have outbreak. why now? they reappear quickly after healed? i always sex with condom.

Accepted Answer

3 causes.: One cause of genital warts outbreaks in men and women is a weakened immune system. To strenghten avoid stress, do not smoke, drink , use drug and take enough sleep. Another possible cause of outbreaks is a poor diet. If your diet is poor take a multivitamin a day. It is believed that foods containing high amounts of arganine may trigger outbreaks of genital warts. Avoid this king food.

Question 7

had unprotected sex with a person who found out their last sexual partner had hpv(warts) but hadn't had an outbreak in years. will i have warts too?

Accepted Answer

The vaccine protects: Because the vaccine called Gardasil is preventive medicine against HPV strains 6 and 11 (those strains cause most of people's genital warts), and because all young people should have already been vaccinated in the last 9 or 10 years, the young adult man in this situation is presumed vaccinated and presumed pretty safe... meaning he is unlikely to get genital warts. This man is vaccinated, right?

Question 8

i had sex with this man once and the condom broke. he had hpv +wart outbreak once a few years ago. did i automatically contract this?no warts so far.

Accepted Answer

Too early to tell: Exposure to hpv doesn't automatically lead to infection. The transmission rate has been estimated to be 20%, but all it takes is one unfortunate event. Make sure to use barrier protection.

Question 9

can my body clear hpv even after having an outbreak of genital warts? and how likely is my body to clear it

Accepted Answer

Maybe. Maybe not.: Nobody really knows. That's why people should be sure they got the Gardasil-9 vaccine. Then, they get their regular check-ups with their primary care doctors, who can usually check for warts. If suspecting warts or going for follow-up after wart treatment, do set a separate appointment. Doctors generally are not given enough time to do all that and still do a good check-up at a check-up visit.

Question 10

what is the best treatment for hpv on the penis? are there any prescription pill that help prevent another outbreak?

Accepted Answer

HPV: The Wart Virus: There is no pill for hpv.  Treating warts on the penis can be done through freezing with liquid nitrogen or through a cream known as aldara (imiquimod).
