Genital Warts

[DrGFreeman]

Found a cluster of red molely looking lumps, when shaving for a punt yesterday. Obviously I cancelled.
so I think I have caught genital warts and I'm off to the clinic next week
I'm no bareback fan, but these are the top of my thigh so condoms wont have helped.
No idea who I got it from
I'm single so no domestic problems, but this will stop any punting till I'm clear 

questions for anyone else who's had them :
what treatment did you have ?
how long till you were clear ?

[Stiff Biggley]

seems an unlikely place to get them. You sure its not just folliculitis? Thats a common issue with shaving. Got any photos?

[fredpunter]

. Got any photos?

I bloody hope not 

[Turtle Z]

Got any photos?

WTF, have I stumbled into an episode of embarrassing bodies 

[Turtle Z]

My advice is to just leave them spread. It's a well known fact that Casanova's cock was covered in genital warts, more friction for the ladies. It never did him any harm.

Could just be where your legs are rubbing against clothing? I get them in weird places but they aren't warts... I had them checked 

[DrGFreeman]

I wont be posting any photos   

its not shaving related as I hadn't shaved in ages
the symptoms fit warts from my internet self-diagnosis - External Link/Members Only

Could it be these?

In that case it could well be a fungal infection. Go to a chemist and ask for Caneston cream. Don't use the footrot treatments available off the shelf: you need the OTC version of Caneston. Discuss it with the pharmacist. I used to get it a lot till I switched to boxer shorts

It's probably nothing but you should visit your G.P. (If you can get an appointment).

Skin tag or wart?
•Skin tags are smooth and soft, whereas warts tend to be rougher with an irregular surface.
•Skin tags are knobbly and hang off the skin, whereas warts are usually flat.
•Skin tags aren't contagious, but warts spread very easily, so a sudden outbreak or cluster of growths is more likely to be warts

I'm pretty sure these are warts, not skin tags or a fungal infection
I have an appointment next week

I wasn't really after advice on diagnosis, but other experience on treatment
anyone on her had them ? how long did it take to clear ?

I believe the usual treatment is to spray them with something that freezes them (liquid nitrogen?) And they drop off a day or two later ... just pray the nurse has a good aim. This is warts I'm talking about ... not skin tags.

any of these??

[DrGFreeman]

any of these??

yes, the wart.
Everything i've read online says these are warts.
Ill find out next week when I see a doctor (a medical one)

I'd still love to hear from someone whos had them ....

[chris_jp2]

I have had them.
First time about 20 years ago, second within the last year or two.
They are persistent buggers.
Get them treated, simple enough, but they can recur.
Good news - you get immunity to the particular strain of wart you have been infected with.
Bad news - there are many different strains.

Let us know how you get on. Will be interesting to see if you're right or not.

[spud jizz]

have they clustered in the silhouette of a rose ?

chris - thanks for the answer
how long did it take to get shot of them ? did they freeze them off ?
how long before you were pronounced clear and back in the saddle ?

[DrGFreeman]

from what I've read, the incubation period can be up to 20 months and the girl I got them from may not have had visible symptoms
I cant point any fingers
I just hope I haven't passed them on unknowingly

[Stiff Biggley]

I cant point any fingers

If you did point your fingers for chrissakes don't pick your nose.........

anyone on here had them ? how long did it take to clear ?

Had one on the old chap for years, throughout 2 long term relationships in fact.
Ironically I only felt motivated to get it removed this year when I started punting again (I really must question my priorities). Anyway here are the steps I took..

1. Go to local sexual health clinic, mine is in my local hospital, I'm now single so this was not a problem
2. Had a sexual health 'interview' at which I was given a paper appointment card
3. Had first 'treatment' (after the interview), this involves applying a gizmo that looks worryingly like  a   blow torch to the wart. The wart gets 'frozen' for about 2-3 seconds. This doesn't hurt particularly.
4. Write the date on your appt card.
5. Allow 7-10 days between appointments
6. After 7-10 days attend the walk in clinic again. Always bring your card. Tell reception that you are "hear for a treatment", present your card (as it has your clinic ID number). I got seen within 10 min each time
7. Repeat till wart shrinks (it shrinks then vanishes rather than falls off). It is not sore after treatments.
8. Err...
9. Thats it

Top Tips;

Afternoon/ early evening walk ins got seen a lot quicker than morning ones in my experience (your card will probably have clinic opening times on it).

Don't leave it longer than a couple of weeks in between treatments or you'll have to go through the admin process and interview again

Mine was a big one (I'm referring on this occasion to the wart not my dick), and took 4 treatments to disperse. So your looking about 6 weeks no punting.

All the best and happy wanking till its gone!

Had them about around 19 years ago, thankfully not come back. Shit myself and went straight to the gum clinic, doctor was an arsehole no compassion.
I had a couple of clusters right on the head, doc froze all of them at the same time which wasn't painful at the time but within 10 minutes had me walking like John Wayne really uncomfortable.
Took a good three to four weeks to properly heal up, old chap blew up like a balloon and the smell was quite revolting.
Hopefully your experience isn't the same

[chris_jp2]

It took 3 visits and yes they froze them. But I'm in my 60s and the older you are the more likely it is that one session won't do it. But being a virus you can get the warts cleared and they can recur later.
