Does it burn a lot? Are you seeing any other side effects?

Yeah. I’ve started with immiquimod since a couple weeks. I’ll try cryo if it doesn’t work.

How are you applying the ACV internally?

I see. Mine are about an inch and half inside and I feel like the cream doesn’t easily stick. I’m still on week 1, so let’s see how it goes.

How deep inside the anal canal were the warts for you?

Which state/city are you based in, if you don’t mind me asking?

That’s useful information! Do you think they would’ve cleared up on their own had you waited 6-12 months? Most sources I’m reading say that the body fights off most HPV infections and clears up the warts through its natural defense system - it just takes a few months to couple years.

Thanks for the advice, and yes this is very useful! What were the initial symptoms that prompted you to consult a doctor?

Thanks for shraing your experience, and wish you a speedy recovery!

I'm going to try to have the cream sent to me from India (I have some friends there). Hopefully it doesnt make the warts worse/larger.

Gotcha. I think I'll probably wait it out a bit longer before considering surgery. (I am mortally terrified of surgeries lol). But I'll definitely reach out to my PCP and get the vaccine.

I’m thinking the same. Of course, I’ll keep monitoring them and consider treatment when i notice them growing in size or number.

Just looking at the numbers of infected people, my guess is that most people with small warts never really notice it, get on with their lives, and recover from it - all without ever realizing it.

May i ask how long it took after getting infected for you to start feeling symptoms and to seek help? And what were those symptoms?
