Hi everyone, I was recently diagnosed with genital warts about 9 weeks ago. I had three sessions of cryotherapy and then was prescribed Aldara cream to use. The warts are almost gone now. However the skin reactions I have had from aldara are so bad! anyone else experience this?? I just wondered if any of you had past experiences with this type of HPV and were able to offer some positive hope? I was told my both mt sexual health nurses that if no warts return within a certain amount of time then it probably means the virus has been cleared from the body; so I'm keeping an eye out to see if they return after treatment! I was also told that there would be no need to inform future partners (im currently single) about the diagnosis because the virus is so common that the chances are they have already been in contact with it. I guess what I'd just really like to know is if any of you have positive success stories from warts and if they ever returned? I felt really depressed about the diagnosis and just want to know when my body will be normal again and if theres anyone else in the same boat. Thank you
i have genital warts as well… i feel like my life is over. im only 23 years old too and i made a bad decision to have more than 10 bodies
Its not over, i thought mine was at first too but have a much better outlook now! When were you diagnosed and what treatment were you given? I’ve only ever been with 3 people so body count has no relevance at all. its just our luck i guess. stay positive and remember itll get better. most people only ever have one outbreak and the body in 90% of prople will clear the virus in 2 years
can you describe the Aldara side effects please?
