Yes. Hpv will clear on its own as your immune system fights the virus, but it's important to see a doctor about the issue for several reasons. First, it may not be genital warts, but another infection or abnormality that could need medical treatment. Second, genital warts will clear, but the question then becomes "how long does it take?" This varies in every person. Those with HIV may have trouble fighting the virus while those who smoke will find an increased risk that the warts will fester for long periods of time. Third, warts can be uncomfortable and embarressing. Sometimes they can burn and itch from irritation, most especially in the anus where fecal matter can be hard to remove because of the warts themselves. In all, they require an elevated level of care while often leaving you inable to maintain your sexual existence. But it is important to wait it out. Genital warts can be treated, but HPV must be fought by the body. The warts often return after treatement, especially early treatment, and the skin is often still infected with the virus. The removal of the warts does little to prevent your body from reacting to the virus, and time-based treatment (waiting it out) may allow for a more accurate benchmark of when the virus has left your body. For most people this can take around 8 months, although it women it has been known to last up to two years. It's important to seek treatment, but also important to let your body run it's course. You cannot kill this virus by removing your warts.

∙ 11y agoMY wart recently fell off. A wart must get treated before it falls off because the root will travel and make new ones if you don't use freeze away stuff. When your wart is dead it will turn black. Soon it will fall off and you will feel a slight itching. Soon the skin will cover the hole your wart/s made and it will be gone. It could takes months for this to happen but most times in weeks

∙ 12y agoYes, but it may take a while - sometimes several years. Warts that are in places where there is no friction of clothing are more likely to disappear on their own. Warts in a skinfolding area or in places where there is increased friction have a tendency to multiply.

How long do warts take to go away?
Without treatment, genital warts may go away on their own, or they may get worse. If warts are causing symptoms, you may consider seeing your health care provider for treatment. Treatment doesn't necessarily make them less contagious. In addition, treatment of warts doesn't increase long-term health risks; warts do not turn into cancer. Without treatment, warts may take months to disappear. Treatment options include creams to use at home, which may take months to see an effect; acid or freezing treatments, which typically take at least two or three treatments a couple of weeks apart; or surgical removal. See related link for reliable information from the CDC regarding genital warts and treatment options.

Can plantar warts be the cause of a positive HPV result on a pap smear or is it only caused by genital warts?
No, plantar warts cannot cause a positive pap smear. For HPV to show up on a pap smear you would have had to be exposed to it during intercourse. Also you can be positive for HPV on pap smear and not have "warts". There are many different strains of HPV and some of them do not cause warts. There are five different strains of the HPV virus that have been linked to cervical cancer and this is why it is important you get tested during a Pap smear. However, the kinds of HPV that are linked to cancer don't usually cause warts. So remember this, just because you don't have warts doesn't mean you don't have some form of HPV. HPV is actually very common and most people who are sexually active have been exposed to some kind of it. If your pap comes back positive for HPV there are many things that your gynecologist can do to prevent progression to cervical cancer. There is no cure for HPV, but the symptoms can be treated. Talk to your doctor about whether you should treat visible warts. They usually go away with no treatment, but they may also spread. Most people decide to treat them because of the symptoms or because of how the warts look. But if you don't have symptoms and are not worried about how the warts look, you can wait and see if the warts go away. If you do decide to treat genital warts, talk to your doctor about the best treatment for you. There are prescription medicines you or your doctor can put on the warts. Or your doctor can remove them with lasers, surgery, or by freezing them off. Even if you treat visible warts or your warts go away without treatment, the HPV infection can stay in your body's cells. It is possible to spread genital warts to your partner even if you have no signs of them. There are over 100 different types of HPV viruses and you can get planter warts from someone who has genital warts. It is a virus that infects your system not just one area of skin. You can get them on your hands, feet, mucus glands(mouth,throat,ect.)genital areas, face, and anus. The virus can be transmitted by direct contact of the infected area to an unaffected area or by touching the warts on someone and then touching your own skin or area of access. The virus can also be spread sexually which is most common and by using the same towel or other personal article that comes in contact with the exposed warts of someone who is affected. The virus can stay in your system for years and is possible to never go away. If you have a positive pap you need to make sure you do a follow up exam so they can do a visual cervical check because not all genital warts are external. You can get them on your cervical walls and cervix where they will go unseen unless you ask for a visual exam for them. This exam is somewhat uncomfortable because they have to move the speculum around to inspect it. Even though planter warts won't cause a positive pap, you can get planter warts from the same HPV virus strain that causes a positive pap to appear.

Where do genital pimples appear?
Genital pimples appear around a woman's private parts. These types of pimples, though painful, are not indicative of having an STD and usually clear up with proper hygiene.
Can you spread hpv warts by changing a diaper?
The saddest thing that no one, including the CDC, ever tells people in public health information concerning genital warts - is that they are NOT spread just by sexual contact. Warts can spread to the genitals from a wart anywhere else on the body. Warts on the hands, or touched by the hands before contact with the genitals, can develop into genital warts by such non-sexual events such as inserting hemorrhoid suppository, or vaginal diaphragm insertion, or a shared towel. It need not even be direct wart to skin contact. It can even be wart to shared surface to skin. HPV is a very durable virus, & can live many hours outside the body on both solid & porous surfaces, such as shared towels, bathroom floors, door knobs, faucets, & more. That's why such a large part of the population has at least 1 wart somewhere on their body. Molestation is always a possibility when venereal warts are found on a child. But it's also possible that someone who changed the child's diapers who had warts on their hands could have been the carrier, or from a wart on the child's own hands from rectal itching or their own natural curiosity. Given the 3+ month incubation time for HPV, the original time & source of infection may be indeterminable. I don't know how many posts I've seen where couples married 10-30 years suddenly turn up with genital warts, & wonder how an STD can possibly turn up after so long, & even who may have strayed in the marriage... When the truth is, the warts could easily have come from their partner's, or from their very own, hands. It's a real pity that no one ever tells us these things, & that the public is lead to assume that venereal warts only arise from careless & likely unscrupulous bedroom activity... My advice is - intermittently check your hands & body for warts. Also, check your partner's. If you see any warts, & there are a variety of types, treat them. Wash your hands frequently, & always think twice about where you put your hands, & where you let other people put theirs. Good health & good luck to you & your niece... & to everyone else with similar concerns.

Genital warts?
DefinitionGenital warts are soft, wart-like growths on the genitals caused by a virus. Genital warts are a type of sexually transmitted infection (STI).Alternative NamesCondylomata acuminata; Penile warts; Human papilloma virus (HPV); Venereal warts; Condyloma; HPV DNA test; Sexually transmitted disease (STD)Causes, incidence, and risk factorsThe virus responsible for genital warts is called human papilloma virus (HPV). More than 70 different types of HPV exist. Several types cause genital warts.Genital warts may be found on the penis, vulva, urethra, vagina, cervix, larynx, and around and in the anus.Other types of HPV are associated with common or flat warts found on other parts of the skin, such as the hands. However, people will not get genital warts from contact with warts on the hands or other parts of the body.HPV infection around the genitals is common, although most people have no symptoms. Even if you do NOT have symptoms, however, you must be treated to prevent complications and spreading the condition to others.In women, HPV can invade the walls of the vagina and cervix. These warts are flat and not easy to see without special procedures.Certain types of HPV can lead to precancerous changes in the cervix, cervical cancer, or anal cancer. These are called high-risk types of HPV.The following are important facts about how HPV and genital warts can be spread:HPV infection is passed from one person to another through sexual contact involving the anal, oral, or vaginal skin or mucus membrane. It is possible for genital warts and HPV to be spread, even when no warts are visible.You may not see warts for at least 6 weeks to 6 months after becoming infected with HPV. It may also take longer, even years. Because of this, when you first notice genital warts, it does not mean that you or your partner has had sexual contact with someone outside of your relationship.Not everyone who has been exposed to the HPV virus and genital warts wil develop them.The following factors put you at higher risk for getting genital warts, having them spread more quickly, having them return, or having other complications of HPV:Having multiple sexual partnersNot knowing whether someone you had sex with had STIsBecoming sexually active at an early ageUsing tobacco and alcoholHaving stress and other viral infections (such as herpes) at the same timeBeing pregnantHaving an immune system that does not work well, such as during cancer treatment or AIDSIf a child has genital warts, you should suspect sexual abuse as a possible cause.SymptomsGenital warts can be raised or flat, and are usually flesh-colored. They may appear as cauliflower-like growths. Sometimes they are so small and flat that they cannot be seen with the naked eye.Common places to find genital warts:Females most often have warts inside or around the vagina or anus, on the skin around these areas, or on the cervix.Males most often have warts on the penis, scrotum, groin area, or thighs, as well as inside or around the anus in those who have anal intercourse.Both males and females may have warts on the lips, mouth, tongue, palate, or throat (larynx)Other symptoms are rare, but may include:Increased dampness or moisture in the area of the growthsIncreased vaginal dischargeItching of the penis, scrotum, anal area, or vulvaVaginal bleeding, with or after sexual intercourseHowever, many people with HPV infection often have no symptoms.Signs and testsA genital examination reveals flesh-colored to white, flat or raised, single or clustered lesions anywhere on the genitalia.In women, a pelvic examination may reveal growths on the vaginal walls or cervix. Magnification (colposcopy) may be used to see lesions that are invisible to the naked eye. The tissue of the vagina and cervix may be treated with acetic acid (dilute vinegar) to make the warts visible.A Pap smear may note changes caused by HPV. Women with these types of changes often need more frequent Pap smears for a period of time.An HPV DNA test can identify the high-risk types of HPV that are known to cause cervical cancer. It may be done as a screening test for women over age 30, or for women of any age who have a slightly abnormal Pap test result.TreatmentGenital warts must be treated by a doctor. Do NOT use over-the-counter remedies meant for other kinds of warts.Your doctor may treat genital warts by applying a skin treatment in the office. Or, the doctor may prescribe a medication that you apply at home several times per week. These treatments include:Imiquimod (Aldara)Podophyllin and podofilox (Condylox)Trichloroacetic acid (TCA)Surgical treatments include:CryosurgeryElectrocauterizationLaser therapySurgical excision (cutting them out)If you develop genital warts, all of your sexual partners must be examined by a health care provider and treated if genital warts are found.After your first treatment, your doctor will schedule follow-up examinations to see if the warts have returned.Women who have had genital warts, and women whose partners have ever had genital warts, should have Pap smears at least once a year. For warts on the cervix, women may be advised to have Pap smears every 3 to 6 months after initial treatment.Women with precancerous changes caused by HPV infection may need further treatment.Young women and girls ages 9 - 26 shoul be vaccinated against HPV.Expectations (prognosis)Most sexually active young women become infected with HPV, but very few remain infected for more than 5 years. In many cases, HPV goes away on its own.Most men who become infected with HPV never develop any symptoms or problems from the infection. However, they can pass it on to current and sometimes future sexual partners.Even after you have been treated for genital warts, you may still infect others.Certain types of genital warts increase a woman's risk for cancer of the cervix and vulva.ComplicationsSome types of HPV have been found to cause cancer of the cervix and vulva. They are the main cause of cervical cancer.The types of HPV that can cause genital warts are not the same as the types that can cause penile or anal cancer.The warts may become numerous and quite large, requiring more extensive treatment and follow-up procedures.Calling your health care providerCall your doctor if a current or past sexual partner is found to have genital warts. Call if you have visible warts on your external genitals, itching, discharge, or abnormal vaginal bleeding. Keep in mind that genital warts may not appear for months to years after having sexual contact with an infected person.Call your doctor if a young child is thought to possibly have genital warts.Women should begin to have Pap smears at age 21.PreventionTotal abstinence is the only foolproof way of avoiding genital warts and other STIs. You can also avoid STIs by having a sexual relationship with only one partner who is known to be disease-free.Skin near the warts and around the genitals, anus, and other areas can pass the virus from one person to the next. Therefore, male and female condoms cannot fully protect you. Nonetheless, condoms reduce risk and should still be used. They reduce your chances of getting or spreading STIs. These precautions must be taken at all times. HPV can be passed from person to person even when there are no visible warts or other symptoms. See: Safe sexStop smoking.Two vaccines are available that prevent infection against four of the HPV strains responsible for the majority of cervical cancer in women. The vaccine is given as a series of three shots. It is recommended for girls and women ages 9 to 26. See: HPV vaccine for more detailed information.ReferencesDiaz ML.

If you had hpv could you still pass it on to your partner?
Not really. I suppose if that person then put their finger on their genitals they might run a risk. Genital warts prefer the skin on your gentials. They are not the same as the warts that might show up on your fingers and vice versa. You'll notice the skin on your hands is very different than the skin on your genitals. Next time you and your partner do this - make sure they have no cuts on their fingers, and have them wash their hands right afterward. Better yet, if you're really worried - ask them to wear a latex glove!
Where do pimples appear?
Genital pimples appear around a woman's private parts. These types of pimples, though painful, are not indicative of having an STD and usually clear up with proper hygiene.
If you and your longtime sexual partner both have HPV would it just keep recycling between each person?
Since our bodies normally clear HPV virus on their own, it is not likely that you'd keep recycling the infection between you. Most of us pick up HPV within months of first sexual activity. Using condoms may reduce the risk, and it's something you and your partner can consider. Getting the HPV vaccine can prevent you from picking up new infection with the subtypes most likely to cause genital warts or cervical cancer. Talk with your health care provider regarding prevention strategies specific to your situation.
