Question 1

what to do if i have genital warts. i heard hydrogen peroxide works wonder but i'm using the acid method?

Accepted Answer

Genital warts: THere are various topical chemical agents used to treat genital warts; hydrogen peroxide is not one of them.  Trichloroacetic acid is a commonly used treatment option, but should be used under the care of a physician.  Genital warts have a fairly high recurrence rate after treatment, and it is very important that your treatment and post treatment course are monitored.

Question 2

can genital warts appear on a males anus if he is straight and havent been penetrated by another male?

Accepted Answer

Other locations ?: Genital warts are transmitted from an infected source to a recipient through direct contact. If you have been exposed to genital warts from a sexual contact it might transfer from another site through scratching. Regular skin warts do not end up on genital skin. If you have a small growth it could easily be a skin tag or hemorrhoid remnant.

Question 3

what happens if i just discovered small genital warts i know its a concern but can i get rid of them a.s.a.p?

Accepted Answer

See a doctor: See a doctor or clinic for professional diagnosis and treatment advice. Over the counter chemicals and various folk remedies have not been studied scientifically and it isn't known how well they work, if at all. Some apparent warts actually are other skin conditions. Self treatment may change the appearince of skin bumps, without curing warts but making it harder to accurately diagnose.

Question 4

can you tell me if i just discovered small genital warts i know its a concern but can i get rid of them a.s.a.p?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Small warts are easily treated with cautery or laser and this is quick
they may return once or twice after treatment
there are creams that treat the disease over a period of time and will treat areas where the virus is not exhibiting itself as warts.

Genital warts: Genital warts (viral) over time can be eliminated by your immune system.  If there has been 3 years since you have seen evidence of them,  it is possible not to communicate them to a sexual partner.  With long intervals, your immune protection may expire, so another exposure may cause recurrence. The virus is easy to communicate to a sexual partner.
