there's no need to be mean....i was raped....thanks so much for the sensitivity....i guess i will deal with this on my own

Answer 1

The only real dumb a** is rea4154. He/she doesn't even realize that genital warts are caused by HPV (Human papillomavirus). Viruses are not treated by antibiotics, what a moron. Antibiotics only work on bacterial infections. Don't let someone like this make you feel bad!

I have had HPV for 5 years now, and have had both genital warts and cervical cancer from it. There really are no home remedies that you can use, unfortunately! Do you not have insurance to pay for the Aldara cream? You don't HAVE to treat the warts, they might spread more around the genital area if you don't treat them, but they usually don't hurt you. The only other thing would be they don't look very nice. You shouldn't try any over the counter products though, these are not made for the genital area, and can irritate the genital area even more by using them. Sorry there isn't really much you can do without seeing the doctor and getting a prescription again!

Answer 2

Sorry to hear about your rape. I hope you are mentally ok.

As far as the genital warts I believe the only way you can get rid of them is by seeing a dr. Maybe you can go to planned parenthood or if that doesn't work for you then you can try to contact a gyn in your area and tell them about your unfortunate situation and it might be very possible that you can pay them in time.

I also would suggest to go to the hospital, to the emergency room because they will bill you. Unless it is a private hospital they cannot turn you away and deny you medical attention that you clearly need.

Please don't listen to the person that told you to tie the warts up. You don't know if that will help you. INfact that can hurt you more. You really need to see a dr. Please go because the situation wont remedy itself.

Good Luck

You need to make seeing a doctor an option. Genital warts are not only something that you don't want to have or spread, but they have also been linked to a HIGH incidence of cervical cancer (not down the road, and not when you're old, but soon!). They need to be treated...pronto...and you will need regular follow up for this. Very serious...please find a way to see a doctor.

Answer 4

For minor ones you can apply hydogen peroxide to the area with a cotton ball. Hold or tape to area for 30 minutes. Then apply the liquid from an aloe plant. Do this about 3 times a day and results are very quick. In addition, taking garlic pills can speed up the process. For major outbreaks - you will need to see a doctor.

Answer 5

To get rid of a wart on a finger we used a slice of garlic under
a bandaid and it was gone in about two or three days.

I Googled this and this was one of the remedies they mentioned.

Answer 6

You need to see a doctor and have them removed. If the reason you're not seeing a doctor is due to a financial issue, find a Planned Parenthood in your area or other similar clinic that charges on a sliding fee scale.

depending on how big it is
you can tie a piece of tread on it and cut off the blood to it and it will come off (tight but not too tight)
not a very easy to do

may bleed slightly but it does work

Answer 8
