Can HPV cause you to get a open sore on your private and it not be herpes?

Answer 1

There are over 100 different strains of HPV. Many of them cause the various types of warts (plantar, genital, etc.), some cause cervical cancer, and others can cause other types of sores. See a doctor and let them run some test. They may do blood tests or try to take a sample of fluid from the sore, depending on the sore.

No. HPV does not cause open sores. It can cause genital warts, but these are much smaller and do not open.

Chancroid lesions and even syphilis, can look like genital herpes, so a doctor needs to analyze the discharge from the sores to get an accurate diagnosis.

Also, johnhategoblins, you don't have to be rude. I didn't say anything about being a pharmacy technician in my answer, even though I am one, I haven't mentioned it at all in this question. I also said, and I'll quote, "a doctor needs to analyze the discharge from the sores to get an accurate diagnosis." And, being how I do have genital herpes AND HPV, I can give my opinion on that subject because I do have a pretty good idea of what both viruses are, seeing how I do have them. Try not to be so rude next time.

Answer 7

The only advice that anyone on here should be giving is for you to consult a Doctor, I don't care if they add their two cents in as well, but you should talk to a Doc. Being a pharmacy Tech DOES NOT qualify you to hand out medical advice. Not even a Doctor could diagnose sh!t on here, and certainly wouldn't recommend self diagnosing. SEE A DOCTOR! I wasn't trying to be rude, but merely trying to drive home the point that people need to seek medical advice. By saying it could be this, or it could be that could lead the person to rationalizing and not going to see a Doctor, your personal experience could indeed help someone, but it is a PERSONAL experience, HPV and HSV are extremely varied, and no two cases are the same. That's all.

hpv is warts........A majority of HPV infections have no signs or symptoms and so most people that are infected are completely unaware but can continue to transmit the virus to sex partner(s).

Depending on the type of HPV, some women have infections that cause abnormal cell growth (dysplasia) on the female cervix. A woman may only find out she has HPV when her annual Pap smear results indicate abnormal cervical cell changes.

Other types of HPV cause visible genital warts. In women, these growths may develop inside the vagina, where they are hard to detect. They can also develop on the lips of the vagina or around the anus. In men, they usually appear on the penis, but they are also found on the scrotum or around the anus. Very rarely, growths can be found in the mouth or the throat.

The growths are typically soft, moist, pink or red swellings and are usually painless but may itch. If allowed to grow, they can block the openings of the vagina, urethra, or anus and become very uncomfortable. They can be single or multiple growths or bumps, raised or flat, small or large and sometimes form a cauliflower-like shape. Depending on their location, genital warts can cause sores and bleeding.

herpes.........usually develop within 2 to 20 days after contact
could continue up to 2 weeks
may be so mild it goes unnoticed
may take longer or be less severe in some people, especially in those with partial immunity to the virus from having facial herpes, e.g. cold sores.
in the first attack sometimes causes visible sores
last between 10 - 21 days
The first episode is the most severe as most people have not been exposed to the virus before and antibodies will not have been produced to trigger the immune response.

When the herpes virus gets into skin cells it reproduces itself and starts to multiply, making the skin red and sensitive. Blisters or bumps may appear on the genital area, the blisters first opening, then healing with the regeneration of new skin tissue.

The infected area:

is usually painful and may itch, burn or tingle, during the outbreak.
Other symptoms include:

swollen lymph glands
painful inflamed blisters develop around infected area
headache
muscle ache
fever
vaginal or penis discharge
infection of the urethra causing a burning sensation during urination
a burning sensation in the genitals
lower back pain
small red bumps may appear in the genital area following earlier symptoms, later developing into painful blisters, which crust over, form a scab, and heal.
No Symptoms:

Up to 60% of people who have genital HSV show no signs of the disease and are unaware that they are infected, but are capable of transmitting the virus to others (asymptomatic viral shedding).

Recurrences

Subsequent recurrences of the virus may cause an outbreak of blisters.

Recurrences:

are usually shorter and less severe than the initial episode
may decrease in both severity and frequency over time
are usually preceded by warning symptoms (also known as prodromal symptoms)
After the lesions have healed, and the symptoms of recurrence have ended, pain and discomfort in the genital area is still sometimes felt (post-herpetic neuralgia).

Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs may be used to treat this condition. Some people find these drugs effective for the discomfort of the prodrome, and for the duration of the outbreak.

How common are recurrences?

80% of persons having a first episode caused by HSV-2 will have at least one recurrence
50% of persons with HSV-1 will experience a recurrence
The most common scenario is occasional recurrences (about 4 attacks per year)
Usually, the first year has the most viral activity
A recurrence takes place when the virus replicates in the nerve ganglia and particles of virus travel along the nerve to the site of primary infection in the skin or mucous membranes (inner, moist lining of the mouth, vagina etc).

Answer 9

Here is the best answer possible. Refrain from gay sexual activities and go back to the natural God given rite of sex; with a WOMAN. That way, if you have sex correctly with the woman, you can have a safe,healthy, and long life. Oh!, and make sure you and the lucky lady get married. Remember: "fornicators,adulterers, and slanderers are outside of the Kingdom of GOD. And if you don't think he exists, then you got a lot comin your way,buddy!
