HPV

I was recently diagnosed with HPV, and underwent the cream treatment for it for 4 weeks. Some of my warts disappeared, but others came up in their place. I then underwent cryotherapy and there was no change.

Since then I've received 2 other rounds of cryotherapy and while some warts have reduced in size, others have come up and I now have them internally as well as externally.

What is my next step? I'm due to return to my doctor in two weeks, who intends to refer me back the GU clinic I started at, but there seems to be no end in sight.

What would be the next step up from cryotherapy and how long should I expect to be receiving treatment? As I have now been going through this for 4 months and it only seems to be getting worse....

Thanks.

Don't worry sometimes warts take a while to go.

Freezing AND using Aldara cream is the best way to go.
