That sounds very serious and painful..if I were you I think I would get a second opinion because with all the things that they have in the medical world you may can have them removed by laser surgery...check it out.

once you have them you have them.You can get them burned off or use cream that they have now, but once you have them you have them for life. you can be outbreak free for the rest of your life tho. just be open and honest and you will find someone.

it could be a sign of infection.  if you have been having unprotected sex, you should go to a clinic or your doctor and get tested.

If he is the only one you have had sex with, then the warts came from him...and he got them from whomever else he is sleeping with...

Sounds to me like he has HPV. (Genital Warts)  U need to make him go get tested. Condoms do not protect u against HPV and there are certain types that increase the risk of cervical cancer in women. Also, most people who have HPV do not show any symptoms, so it's possible u already have it. Go see ur gynocologist and ask for a HPV test. If u have it, u should have a pap smear every 3-4 months to check for abnormal cell growth. If u do, dont get hysterical over it, HPV will usually go away on it's own within a year or two as long as u are no longer having sex with an infected partner, and in most cases it doesnt turn into cancer. But better to know for sure and keep up with regular checks just in case.

everyone is right...genital warts are caused by HPV, which isn't curable.  however, go to a doctor and i'm sure they can provide some sort of treatment plan to help with outbreaks and intensity.

If you aren't a virgin and this has happened more than once it could be very serious! Please, read the list in the website I have sourced and talk to a doctor. You only get one body so make sure you love, respect, and take care of it to the best of your ability.

Warts are typically caused by HPV, human papilloma virus.  In your particular case, being female that is... HPV is also a major cause of Cervical cancer.\n\nIt should clear up after some time... like a month or so.  However, you won't ever truly be rid of the virus... majority of the time that is.  It stays in a latent phase within cells near the warts/lesions it causes.\n\nBut, definately keep vigilant for the possibility of cervical cancer.  Not garaunteed to occur, it depends on what type of HPV you have.  \n\nHowever, cold sores are caused by HSV, herpes simplex virus.  You should also be aware that there is no getting rid of herpes... as of yet.\n\nThere are typically clinics around that you can go to where you are anonymous.  And no it doesn't matter the type of sex... oral or the normal kind.\n\nP.S.\nDon't beat your bf too hard.

Genital warts are a virus, called Human Papilloma Virus (HPV). There are over 230 different virus types that are considered HPV. \n\nYou need to see your doctor or gynecologist and have the test for HPV. Once a positive result is achieved, there are several ways to get rid of the warts. Keep in mind that the VIRUS itself never goes away, even if all of the warts are removed. An outbreak can happen at any time. Be sure and tell any sexual partners you may have in the future that you have warts, because they are contageous (obviously).\n\nUse of condoms during sex will prevent the spread of HPV. \n\nTypically, if the outbreak is small, the biopsy of the wart can remove it. If not, there is laser treatment. If that doesn't work, then your doctor can freeze them off.\n\nInbetween your test for HPV, biopsy, and a single given treatment, you will need to have a pap smear to determine the results. \n\nAfter you are wart-free for a full six months, your ob/gyn will go back to recommending a pap smear annually. \n\nGo to www.webmd.com for more information on what HPV is, how to test for it, and treatment options. Please visit your doctor, soon, though, because *some* of the HPV viruses (about 20, in fact) may lead to cervical cancer over time.

According to the National Institute of Allergies & Infectious Diseases, Human Papillomavirus is among the most common causes of sexually transmitted infections in the world.(1) In the United States, it is estimated that there are more cases of genital human papillomavirus infections than any other sexually transmitted diseases; indeed, according to the Centers for Disease Control, approximately 20 million people are currently infected and at least 50% of sexually active men and women acquire a genital HPV infection at some point in their lives. The CDC estimates that by age 50, at least 80% of women will have acquired a genital HPV infection, and about 6.2 million Americans get a new genital HPV infection each year.(2) \nThere are more than 100 different strains of HPV, as it is commonly referred to, most of which are harmless. However, an estimated 30 types of HPV are spread through sexual contact; some of which can cause genital warts.(3) Also called condylomata acuminata or venereal warts, genital warts typically appear in “clusters” of bumps. The warts can appear either as raised or flat and range in size from small to large. Common locations for the warts in women include the vulva, cervix, and inside and surrounding the vagina and anus. Genital warts typically appear on the scrotum or penis in men who are affected. The warts are highly contagious and can easily be spread during vaginal or anal sex with an infected partner. Rarely, genital warts also can develop in the mouth or throat after having oral sex with an infected partner. Genital HPV infections often do not have any symptoms; however, even without obvious symptoms, HPV can still be spread from partner to partner. \n\nWarts are usually diagnosed, even in absence of symptoms, by sight. Gynecologists can confirm the diagnosis in suspected cases by applying acetic acid (vinegar) to the infected areas, causing the areas to whiten and making the warts more visible. Abnormal Pap Smears can also result in the presence of a cervical HPV infection. \n\nThere is no cure for HPV. There are, however, treatments for the warts, including topical agents such as Imiquimod, Podophyllin Antimitotic solution, Podofilox, Fluorouracil cream and Trichloroacetic acid. Genital warts can also be removed surgically through cryosurgery, which freezes them, electrocautery, which burns them, or laser. As there is no cure for human papillomavirus, the warts may come back even after definitive treatment. \n\nHPV is more than just an STD. Some forms of the virus can actually can cause cancers of the cervix, vulva, anus, and penis.(4) Genital warts can also cause problems during pregnancy, ranging from vaginal obstruction to the development of warts in the throat of the infant (laryngeal papillomatosis).(5) Early diagnosis and intervention in a patient with genital warts are crucial for successful treatment. \nAccording to the University of Iowa Department of Obstetrics & Gynecology, there are three ways to decrease exposure to HPV and other sexually transmitted diseases: use of condoms, which can lower the risks of exposure; monogamous relationships; and complete abstinence.(6) The University is currently conducting important research towards a possible vaccine through their study on HPV types 6, 11, 16, and 18.

Go to the Health Department. You do not need to tell anyone about this EXCEPT any sexual partners that you have had (they have a right to know so that they can be treated also). The Health Department will probably want to give you medications, in a shot and in tablet form also. If you have any allergies to medicines please tell the health department what you are allergic to BEFORE they give you medication! Take ALL of the medicine as you are told. Go to the drug store and buy some condoms or the Health Department may have some to give your for free! It is by far cheaper for them to give out condoms than it is to treat a bunch of people with venereal diseases! \n\nLook, do you want to keep your penis? Do you ever want to be able to father a child when you are older? (Because FYI some venereal diseases can cause damage to your testicles so that you will be unable to father children! Or the disease can even affect your ability to get and maintain an erection!) Nobody wants to have a limp noodle! \n\nIn the future before you put your precious penis anywhere besides your own clean hand, gently roll a condom on him, if you do not know how, they will probably offer to show you at the Health Department! As you are putting on the condom remind your partner, that the condom is so you can both be safe and healthy. \n\n**If you do not take all of the medications as YOU are told, then the infection can come back and when it does it may not be as easy to be rid of it. If they want you to come in for a follow up exam, go. They are only trying to make certain that you are healthy and cured from the infection!\n\nGood luck, you should be able to avoid this problem in the future if you use condoms. If you want to stay healthy and keep your penis from literally falling off, you will use the condoms EVERY TIME until you are married to a woman that you KNOW is healthy (and you can hope is faithful to you)!  \n\nThis time is may be something as simple as Gonorrhea or a Urinary Tract Infection or Non-Specific Urethritis that you have picked up from unprotected sex. Many people do not know that you can also have Gonorrhea in your throat, so if you have been diving, you might want them to do a throat culture swab too. Think about this experience before you ever put your thing in anything or anyone else again! The next disease you catch may not go away with just a shot and a few pills, when you get HIV, you will be taking hands full of medicines and you will probably still die! Sex is great, but is it really worth dying a slow lingering contagious ugly death at a very young age?  Please think before you hump in the future! You will be glad you did!

It can be normal.  Some people are naturally proned to getting warts.  Some have them their whole lives and some develope them as they get older.  They my have warts constantly growing on their hands, chest, face, etc.   The warts come back no matter how much treatment is done.\n\nYou should still get these check.  You can catch some VD in a public bathroom or through shaking hands with someone who did not wash after masturbating and then using the bathroom yourself.

It's funny how people on here love to jump to conclusions before they hear the person asking the question's full statement!I don't think it is possible to get a STD if you are not sexually active so that cancels that horrific scenario out, you could be allergic to a certain material used in your undergarments, or if you use like a feminine deodorant spray such as fds, it could be causing a reaction, the worst it could be is a possible yeast infection and instead of using over the counter methods or drugs it would probably be safe to consult with your doctor.

Alot of people have that and dont know it - If you really care for that person than thats a different story -it would be wise not to have sexual intercourse when they have breakouts-as to not infect you -though I  think you can still get it - the warts can be removed by freezing them -Dermatologists can do this- a friend of mine had to go through with this and he said it was extemely painful but worth it though  they can still return - \nHonestly this disease is not that bad compared to Aids or other diseases - its just like if you get warts on your hands  except you can get them on your genitals - its just an extra thing you would have to live with and maintain - my friend is now married and he has 2 kids -his wife was very understanding to his condition -and luckly she has never gotten them -though she could have them and just never break out - Anyway - its a decision you have to really think about and make sure its not something will be fine with now but not later -its something you must be able to accept for the long haul and if the realtionship doesn't workout you would have to take in consideration that you may walk away from that relationship with HPV - but if you really feel like this person is special and may even be the one then no amount of pesky little warts should keep you from experiencing that type of love or relationship - like I said there are far more worse things out there -even Herpes is about the same risk as HPV - but keep in mind HPV and Herpes can be linked to causing some cervical cancers if not kept an eye on with yearly visits to the DR - hope this helps

fisrt of all u have to see that he has an active wart or not if he has he can go to the dermatologist and then they can fizing that for him .....when there is no wart in his genitalia area the risk of transmited to u woill be decrease so much...of course HPV as a virus has no treatment completly and i dunno why u are so scared of that ...i know there is some type of HPV has related to servix cancer or methaplasy of it but they are not too much type (16,18,31,33,35 )and others are fine type....if he use condoms then the risk for transmited will be 0 and then no need to be worry even if u have un protected sex with him and he has no active wart the risk of transmited will be too low...then i advice u to both go to a dermatologist or even ur gynecologist and start ur relationship...ab vaccine u said cuz most of the virus change their version then maybe it wont be useful so much....

Could be HPV, or Human Papilloma Virus, or Molluscum Contagiosa.  I'd see a doctor to determine what they are.  Just because they showed up after having sex with current boyfriend doesn't necessarily mean he gave it to you.  It can lie dormant in your body for an undetermined amount of time, and you may have happened to have an outbreak at that time.
