    Yes its Condylomata acuminata... you have to see a dermatologist for Imiquimod treatment

    That's what it looks like to me. Your gynecologist can also freeze them off. I know you're probably worried, but leave them be for now, keep an eye on them and any new growths. HPV is very common, and genital warts are very treatable. I'd just sustain from sex until you get it checked out and speak with your gyno about it

    That genital warts. You need to go Gynaecologist or Dermatologist Clinic. You need a proper diagnose and treatment. There's no Genital Warts medication you can get over counter. You need Doctor prescription. For now, just avoid touching your genital too much to avoid self-inoculation and spreading. Try to eat more healthy foods and take some basic vitamins (C,D,B12,Zinc etc) to boost your immune system. Stay safe.

    Thanks for the rapid responses. I have just started my period and I maintained a strict hygiene since the post, they backed off, got smaller and gone, which I think it s a good sign for the moment. I ll keep you updated

      Hi! Have they disappeared completely? I've got some in the exact same spot as yours and I constantly look at them which I think is making them stay. Last year I stopped touching them altogether and they disappeared so was wondering if I need to stop touching them again!

      That does look a lot better but make sure not to have unprotected sex until they are completely gone as they can still spread very easily

    Another update. I think it will be the last one because everything looks like before.

    even if I know your suggestions were really good, after a discussion with my partner we continued to have unprotected sex.image
