Question 1

does dettol help to remove genital warts?

Accepted Answer

Not at all: Dettol and other antiseptics have no effect on warts. See a doctor to confirm the diagnosis and advise the best treatment. Good luck!

Question 2

how can i remove genital warts w/over the counter meds?

Accepted Answer

Genital warts: You cannot use OTC meds to treat genital warts.  Any treatment, whether it be chemical, cryotherapy, or surgical excision, needs to be done under the care of a physician.  The medications used are prescription only.

Question 3

after genital warts are removed, how long is one contagious for?

Accepted Answer

Well: The problem with warts is that they are viral and contagious. Now you need to have excellent hygiene and be sure they are all gone and none remaining and none remaining and you stay very clean and then will see.

Question 4

i had genital warts removed yesterday and they are still bleeding today. is that normal?

Accepted Answer

A little, yes.: A slight amount of bleed or seepage is normal.  If it worsens, see the surgeon who performed the removal.

Question 5

does applying vitamine and garlic to genital warts remove them? if so how long should i apply it? please help

Accepted Answer

Not your best choice: Your physician has a few better options, from surgery to lasers to some simple chemicals to immunomodulators that will get your body excited enough to clear the warts using the immune system. There is nothing "enlightened" about choosing "natural" stuff that will probably not work. I've had colleagues with these warts and nobody's used garlic -- if it worked, we'd know.

Question 6

supposing that someone had genial warts but got them removed and they had sex with someone, could that person get genital warts?

Accepted Answer

No: Genital warts are common and are contagious. 
However, if a person had warts and had them treated so that no warts are present on the skin, then the partner should not be at any risk to contact them.
It if believed that a wart must be present to spread the disease. 
The cells of the anus in a person who has had them treated still contain the virus, but they are not contagious.

Question 7

genital warts can be removed or go away within a few years, does that mean it's not with you for life, like it's not like herpes ?

Accepted Answer

HPV: Hpv, can last a lifetime and put you at risk for cervical, rectal and throat cancer.  But, there are over 140 different strains and most of them cause no permanent risk. 13 strains cause these dangerous cancers.  Gardisil, the vaccine, prevents the four strains that cause 95% of the dangerous disease.

Question 8

is there a time of skin to skin contact needed to get genital warts? would 1-2mins of protected sex with fairly minimal skin contact be enough? woman had warts in past and removed within last year and hasnt seen any warts within last couple months?

Accepted Answer

: In medicine we are taught to never say never but the cited contact is unlikely to pas genital warts. Resurgence of the warts after removal is rare and the common method of transfer is with exposed warts in place.

Accepted Answer
