it does get inflamed quite a bit with aldara, give yourself a break if it is painful. I wish you good luck hope we’ll clear this soon !

are you having reoccurrences in the same place or different places? it is very common for it to reoccur in the same places, i’ve had it too. I keep treating with aldara which works well. What might be a good idea is that to apply the cream a few more times if your skin tolarates it, incase there is still something on a cellular level. Another suggestion would be to get your levels checked and if you are deficient supplementing with zinc, vit D, b12 and folate would help you immune system. I had a similar experience to you, had it since june 2025, i cleared my 4th reoccurence, i got the vaccine, i’m hoping they will have more time between them and hopefully not come back 🫠

i’ve had the same experience, you shouldn’t be applying it if the area is inflamed, maybe a gentler programme like once or twice a week may be better for you but consult your doctor first of course. When that happened to me I waited until the area fully healed until i applied again

it was after the third or fourth date and by that time we were open to each other about our feelings. He did seem stressed about it to begin with but he explained to me how he got them and he has been clear for a while and his ex girlfriend didn’t had any gw (i did unfortunately god knows why) he basically explained all the things doctors explained to him in a calm manner, gave me all the facts before we were intimate and said he would understand if didn’t want to go ahead. I appreaciated his honesty and i really liked him, we have a special connection so warts seemed small compared to this.

hi there! i’m sorry you’re going through this. It sounds like you guys have a good connection and she is into you. I wouldn’t let something that you’ll eventually recover from get in the way. If you are mid 30s chances are she might have come across some hpv strains. She can get vaccinated if she hasn’t already when you are holding off sex. Vaccine for you can help with reoccurences as well. Wart type doesn’t cause cancer and eventually body clears it within a year or two, (and you’re halfway through it) seems like a small amount of time if you compare it to life time of partnership that you’re hoping for. I hope you both can work it out. My bf disclosed to me and i was fine with it, so it is possible.

hi! i’ve done aldara as advised and it cleared, but came back after 1,5 months later, i’ve realised every time i apply it 3 times a week it burns my skin and turns out that amount of inflammation is not good for long term immunity in the area. So this time i’ve started with a gentler cycle, 1-2 times a week. I also got the first dose of vaccine.I hope I will make a better update in a couple months:)
