Q about at home treament/remedy for hpv - Human Papillomavirus (HPV) Message Board

Hey, my G.F> of 5 yrs found out about a yr ago she had HPV,although I think she had it like 5 ,6 yrs before an out break,,[who knows]anyway,, when she got pregnant it made em get like 10 times worse, and she actually had to have laser surgury to get them removed from her around her anus. i mean they were like 2 lil bumps,then she got preg. then BOOM,they get so bad she cant sit down, and because she was preg. there wasnt much she could do for it cream wise and such,until it got so bad, and the docs didnt realize it was getting that bad. She also had a few around her vagina but not bad enuff to have cut off,, so they give her aldria cream for those.Since she was a young preg. unemployed mother ,,she was giving a medicaid card to pay for all of this.So that was a huge help.
anyway,, Now I'm having an out break. right when all of hers are getting cleared up.She had like 3 packets of aldria left and she giv them to me ,I guess it started to help but I ran out. So now there getting worse,,, I just moved to a new town and dont have a family doctor or anything in this area so I was wondering if anyone had any kind of At Home remedy suggestions until I can afford to find a doctor and get some aldaria,,, like I think a box of it is like $100 which I dont have no insurance to help pay for it like my G.F. did,,,
I need some kind of suggestions ,,,I went to the local herbal store and got some Vit. E caps,that you bust open and put on em, but thats about it, Ive looked all over the net and everything is so expensive and you gotta have a credit card and such. SHEWWWWW!! enuff to drive some crazy!! I even went to the local pharmacy and broke down and asked the pharmacist and embarrassed the **** outta myself..,, but it's getting to the point that I got too do something

There really are no "at-home" treatments. I would suggest looking up your nearest community health clinic and get this taken care of.

You should should definitely use condoms if you are having sex with your GF although this may not totally protect either of you. I read a post along time ago where someone said that Tea Tree Oil helped.

Ok,thanks for the input,,,but where in the world do you get tea tree oil?? Ive never even heard of it.

And As far as I know my GF got this BEFORE we were together,,then I got it from her,, now after a few years she broke out ,,,then me,,,
Or who knows she may have got it behind my back,
[I mean it's bad to think that way,put it's possible]
but she did have an abnormal pap like a few mths before we started dating,, which led to her having some abnormal cells removed from her cervex,it was mentioned at the time about possible HPV,, but since she had no signs of em, then she dismissed it [I mean No one wants to find out, if they think it's a possibiltiy they dont have it,, I guess,,

Anyhow,,, weve been dating like 5yrs,, and you say we both still should use condoms,, and for the topic of this my out break isnt on my penis or sac,, it's practiclly on my leg ,well the skin between my leg an sac,,like where your underwear rides. so a condom wouldnt cover em anyway,,,,,

just curious,,,,
