Question concerning genital warts...

[elima27]

HI!!
At a gynecology exam a year ago, my doctor informed that I had genital warts. I ended up moving and never having them treated (mostly because I didn't see or feel any), but after my most recent exam the doctor didn't mention anything about them. This might sound a little crazy, but there is a single wart on the inside of my labia and its extremely small. I read a report for treating them yourself with castor oil and baking soda... My question is, would it be extremely stupid to use the salicylic acid that is used on common warts on my one genital wart? It seems safe to me, but want to make sure before actually applying the acid to it.
Does anyone have any experience with this?
Thanks for any help!!

I wouldn't self treat myself. Genital warts are caused by a virus and needs to be treated otherwise, they can spread and turn into cancer. What you should do is see your Dr again, tell them that genital warts had been identified on a previous exam and you need them to re-examine you.

I have much experience dealing with this - in patients. It would be extremely stupid to treat yourself (your words). The doctor in your new location should have been told of your previous diagnosis. That is why we take medical history.

Go to a doctor, women's clinic, school clinic, whatever and explain your history. Have a proper examination and get proper treatment. In the meantime, avoid sex and make a list of all your sex partners since you first became aware of your exposure. Get ready to call them.

LustyLisa has it right. Make an appointment now and do not wait until your next regular exam. You have a disease, you know you have a disease, you know you can spread a disease. Get it treated.
