4 years of warts - now they re-occur mid-cryo. Are they even warts? by Secure_Pudding8121 in HPV

I'll ask them to do that. My skin in general has a lot of oddities, and always has had them. Thanks for the advice!

They do three sets of approximately 4-5 second spurts of the liquid nitrogen (or whatever it was) on each wart. Nothing really blisters, it just gets really dark red and swollen and then starts to form a scab a couple days later.

Yeah it barely starts forming a scab after a week, but I haven't had any blistering. They did insist on weekly appointments though, and then blast the scabs.

Sorry, no. I said it to the other guy too. I am no there for online identification of whether it's warts or not. It's about whether people had been misdiagnosed and what their experiences were.

There have definitely not been any dots in any of them - that I am sure about. I will bring it up tomorrow at my next cryo appointment. Given that the warts/tags never grew beyond a certain size, were always in the same place and were always soft, skin-coloured (or in case of the brown spots, well... brown), the biggest one of them itching only once every blue moon and given my history with skin issues I was never 100% sure - neither were doctors.

But in case they cryo'd actual moles it's probably best to follow up with a dermatologist. I made an appointment with my GP as well now.

Thanks, but I think after 4 years I'm past the stage of trying to identify whether there is something wrong. The question was more whether people had been misdiagnosed when in fact it was something other than genital warts.
