I have been trying, unsuccessfully, to treat my
genital warts for over a year now. Enough is enough.
Two prescriptions of Aldara did nothing except irritate the hell out of the skin on the head of my penis (eventually forming a scab and bleeding) and put $300 or so into 3M's pockets.
Two bottles of Forces of Nature "Warts No More Super Strength Plus" did nothing except irritate the skin, making it crack and bleed in places, and put $200 or so into Forces of Nature's pockets.
I also have cut way down on alcohol intake (though I wasn't drinking all that much anyway), eaten more vegetables and healthy foods, taken vitamins every day, and gotten more exercise since I found out I had HPV, so that my immune system would have a better chance of fighting off the virus. I don't smoke either.
The urologist seemed to be trying very hard not to discuss any other treatment options with me except him doing laser surgery. I get the feeling this was because him doing laser surgery was the option that would make him the most money. From what I've read, mine aren't extensive enough to warrant laser surgery.
The other doctor I've seen prescribed the Aldara (at my request) but didn't seem very well informed about HPV or its treatment options.
I've had it. My patience is gone.
Tonight I purchased some Compound W Freeze Off.
It is not intended to be used on genital warts. However, I have heard of people using this successfully on their genital warts when nothing else had worked.
I am going to use it here in a few minutes.
Wish me luck.
