ANUSOL ANAL WARTS: WARTS, WHETHER BENIGN OR MALIGNANT, CAN GROW UNTIL THEY HAVE BEEN COMPLETELY DESTROYED. IF YOU HAVE BEEN SEEING A DERMATOLOGIST, HE OR SHE WILL EXPLAIN WHAT YOU CAN DO AND CAN EXPECT. IF YOU HAVE NOT SEEN A DERMATOLOGIST, YOU SHOULD. I DO NOT THINK YOU HAVE DEVELOPED ANOTHER CANCEROUS STRAIN. BEST LUCK!

Anusol: has steroids in it and can actually promote the growth of warts. Do not use for warts. You need an exam from a colon and rectal surgeon to see the extent of the internal lesions and whether a different Rx med or surgery is the best way to resolve this problem. Hemorrhoid meds DO NOT treat internal anal warts. Stop using them and get proper care.
