Question: Hi, I am a 31 male, 230lbs 5ft10...pretty good health. I noticed a couple months ago that I had some sort of growths around my anus/rectum that would slightly bleed after using toilet paper and also had some sort of infection on my penis that seems to have 90% went away using coconut oil..thought it was Balanitis or a yeast infection. Near that same time I developed a rash on outer and inner sides of my feet, small bumps that would itch, applied coconut oil and it stopped but appears as scarred. Been with the same person for 10+ years so dont think its an std..noticed it after using really rough toilet paper at work..now just apply coconut oil thinking it will help. Sometimes the bumps/growths around rectum are painful but tolerable. I also noticed a swollen lymph node in groin area (small) and figure it was connected but has dissappeared. I have pictures to send to you of my problem. All I can come up with HPV and my worst thoughts are cancer but everything relates to cancer these days. I have a pretty bad diet, always have so maybe that contributed, I am changing though, eating lots of fruits. Thanks XXXXXXX

what is the usual cause for anal warts? is there anything I can do to allievate the symptoms? anything that would help shrink them? would the coconut oil be of any help? I am in the process of getting health insurance so will see a doctor soon too.
