What Are The Reoccurring Warts?
two years ago i went to the doctor for this and they said it could be hpv so they layserd the two warts off and said they would send the warts to be looked at to see if it is in fact hpv? they said they would call me and i sat by the phone for weeks and they never did so i just figured i didnt have it. but now 2 and a half years later two warts came back could this be something other than hpv? and should of the doctor have called me to tell me that i had it since it is a contagous std. i just started dating my girlfriend 1 year ago and will never forgive myself if i gave this to her.:(

Thank you for query.warts are caused by HPV virus.it can infect or spread to other parts of body .It can be transmitted by sexual route or by skin to skin contact also.usually the virus will be with you for long and can get reactivated any time.Take treatment like podophyllin resins like podowart or cryotherapy on discussion with your doctor.though condom can prevent transmission to some extent it cannot fully prevent as skin to skin transmission is possible.HPV vaccines are available you can consult the doctor for vaccines to your girl friend which will help in protection against warts and cervical cancers.You can get back for any clarifications.Dr Bharatesh D Basti Dermatologist
