"genital warts (sometimes called
condylomata acuminata or venereal warts)
are the most easily recognized sign of
genital hpv infection. Many people,
however, have a genital hpv infection
without genital warts.
Genital warts are soft, moist, or flesh
colored and appear in the genital area
within weeks or months after infection.
They sometimes appear in clusters that
resemble cauliflower-like bumps, and are
either raised or flat, small or large.
Genital warts can show up in women on the
vulva and cervix, and inside and
surrounding the vagina and anus. In men,
genital warts can appear on the scrotum or
penis. There are cases where genital
warts have been found on the thigh and
groin. "
hope that helps hun.
If you think you have it you should go see
a doctor cos im pretty sure they can
burn them off or give u a cream to get rid
of it. They do eventually go away but may
come back spontaniously. Best to see a
doc but cos it could not b it n you'll
feel much better if u knew for certain.

Yeah the warts look like clusters of
bumps. Depending on the severity of them
your doc will more than likely start off
with a cream to get rid of them, and if
that doesn't work (which it usually
doesn't because if they are on the outside
there is a really good chance you have
them on the inisde as well) then the next
course of action usually is burning them
off via laser surgery. They'll put you
under for that and you'll be sore for
about a week afterwards.
A good way to test to see if you have them
or not tho is to make a solution of equal
parts white vinager to water. Then dip a
cotton ball in it and dab onto the areas
where you think you have them. If they
are genital warts then they will turn
white-ish.
Once you get rid of them (no longer have
outward signs of them) they are not as
easy to spread. But the virus or bacteria
or whatever it is that caused them will
remain in your blood stream, and if you
have a period of time that is stressful
you could get them again. Also if you get
pregnant, the hormonal imbalance with
cause you to get them again also. But
they will more than likely shed themselves
off after the pregnancy. But if you can
go symptom free ( no outward signs at all)
for about a year the doctors will consider
you "cured".
Lol I know thats alot of info at one time
but I hope that it helps you out.

To jlover06:
that is what I believe to be "herpes" also
called " cold sores or fever
blister"...Dont panic. Everybody once in
their live experienced some type of herpes
on the lip or inside the mouth
outside the mouth: what I would recommend
is dont use ppls lip gloss/cap stick.
Keep your hands/finger off your mouth,
dont lick your lips (it'll make it worst
!!) when you have the sore. Use natural
oils as lip moisturizer or sheen
like....Olive oil, etc. (its a whole lot
better then the junk in cosmo lip gloss)
inside the mouth: dont bite on it, or use
your teeth/tongue and play with it. They
sell things at pharmacys or grocery store
for cold sores that numbs it and it clears
up in days. Buy " orajel "..Its for tooth
aches and cold sores in the mouth
i use to get those things all the
time....It was like what the heck !?! But
I haven't had one since this year has
started ! (yay to me :lol: )
