You've been to a doctor but they've been no help? Well, you've got an idiot for a doctor. The course of action depends on the extent and location of your warts. My wife and I both had an outbreak when she became pregant (her breakout was much worse). I was given a topical solution which burned the warts. My wife had both the topical for the smaller warts and had laser surgery to burn off a couple of larger ones. Inside the vagina and on the cervix they freeze the warts. Get rid of them as soon as possible including your current doctor.

I had them about 12 years ago...got them from my 'at that time girlfriend'...she told me that she had 'had them' but they had been looked after. I believe that she thought this to be true, by the way. Anyway, went to see the Dr. and he burned them off immediately with a pointed device that got very hot at the tip. It was uncomfortable, the needles for the pain killer was the worst, but it got rid of them with no lasting scars.
Do it right away...they can spread and are VERY contagious.

Aldara is a good medication to treat genital warts. I used it for 12 weeks and most of the warts are gone, I probably have to use it for 4 more weeks. In the beginning the medicine doesn’t cause any discomfort, but after like 2 or more weeks it starts to irritate the skin that you are applying the medicine to. Everyone has different reactions to medicine so I can’t really tell you how the medicine is going to affect you. The discomfort cause by it is painful at times but I felt that it’s worth it anything to get rig of the warts. Pain only last so long. If you don’t like your doctor get a new one, there is also information about Aldara online just type the name of the med. into a search engine.
