Hello all, im a new user here. Let me
give a breif background of myself:
for the past month I have noticed small
bumps at the base of my shaft. I was not
worried until I first noticed a couple
more appear in the same area.
I immediately scheduled a checkup.
Sadly, it appears I have contracted the
hpv virus. I am ok with knowing that I
am "stuck" with this virus for life, but
would like to start exploring different
methods of treatment.
The school I attend is offering liquid
nitrogen removal for the cost of
$25/semester. This includes as many
treatments as necessary.
My main concern is that this will be
painful and leave scars, therefore I am
looking for other methods of treatment.
So far I have been recommended the cream
aldara, which seems promising. But this
cream is very expensive and far exceeds my
budget. I have also seen ads on webmd
for creams such as:
my question for the forum's members:
--have you had any luck with any specific
type of treatment?
--which type of treatment would you
recommend?
--from your experience, how long have
warts stayed away after use of treatment?
Which treatment did you use?
Thank you all for viewing my post.
Hopefully this post will not just help me,
but others with this dilemma as well!
Take care,
college_student

Genital Warts Treatment Posted: 04-14-05 16:04pm
Hi there.
If your school is offering the nitrogen
treatments...Take them!!! The creams are
not that affective and they always seem to
come back. I am female and also have the
virus. The creams, even doctor precribed
did not work at all. The nitrogen did
and they have not returned at all in over
3 years. It was not pleasant but I
wouldnt say it "hurt". But I will tell
you that I heard it can be more painful
for males. And as for scars, I have
never noticed any, but lets be realistic
here....Would you rather have a few tiny
scars, or warts for the rest of your
life?? Not a tough decision if you ask
me! Anyways, you seem to be handling the
situation rather well. Good luck and if
you have any other questions, let me know.
Take care.

Hello everyone,
just wanted to touch back and let eveyone
know how the treatment went. I had the
visible warts frozen off with liquid
nitrogen....Which really was not that
painful one bit. I am also applying tea
tree oil 3 times everyday during the
morning, noon and night. The tea tree
oil is amazing. It has made those warts
practically vanish. Anyone can pick this
stuff up @ wal-mart for $5 a bottle.
Just apply using a cotton swab.
Ive used the liquid nitrogen twice so far,
both within a week of each other. Warts
are gone, now there is just a small
pinkish dot which is barely noticeable.
I heard from a reliable source that mixing
tea tree oil with crushed golden seal
tablets is highly effective. By mixing
the 2 you get a paste-like goo which you
spread on the visible warts and leave on
over night.
Will let everyone know how well this works
once I get a hold of the golden seal.
Take care, and good luck everyone!

Yea ,glad to see you found success using
tree tree oil. I use oils like these for
many cures.
Here is a link to to where I get my
treatment, it contains tea tree oil and
more, and I think it works a little better
than the plain tea tree. (and yes it
comes in a plain envelope)
