OMG Warts!!

[~Kim~]

Pregnancy does that to me too. And funny you mention it, I only recently discovered a heap more that have cropped up. I had them years before I had the kids and then none for ages, then after each pregnancy no matter how short, more have appeared.

YES HPV is an STI but there are about 100 strains of HPV, and it's only and STI if you've got it on your cervix/vaginally. Many people have some strains as natural flora.

babe.

Warts are actually all in your head - that is, you can talk yourself out of them.
2 or so sessions with a hypnotherapist will get rid of them, never to return.

Are you serious?? Never heard that before! But how could it be in my head if I didn't even know it was a wart?? lol.

Yep, the virus (The strain that causes the warts you are talking about) can be overcome by your mind. As ****y as that sounds lol it is true.

But yes, the hypno will get rid of them, affirmations and a couple of sessions will get rid of them - I used to have them very badly on my hands and wrists. I have been wart free for about 16 years now. It is more effective than freezing, burning etc, because those methods don't actually attack the virus itself, merely the symptom (the wart).

There are lots of different types of virus and immune responses that cause them, did she tell you what the warts are called? I had a plantar (sp?) wart it was contagious, my feral housemate had them all over his feet and showered and didnt tell anyone else he had them so we all got them and after all the treatments from the drs it was actually some nasty self slicing that got rid of mine permanently *disclaimer* monkey see monkey don't! I don't recommend trying it at home lol

[alish]

ive had one come up on my foot & belly since being pregnant, im going to the doctor to get them burnt off one day, ive had one on the inside of my rude finger for years so ill get that one done too, im not too worried about them though..

yeah dont try slicing them off at home like wr said haha! i tried to razor my finger one off, ouchies

burning them off is the only thing that works for me

[Heaven]

Are they skin tags hun? I got heaps when I was pg under my arms Still need to go and get them burnt off but don't stress too much! Harmless and pretty painless to remove.

That's what I thought, but nope, apparently warts,

Oh phew, so it's just a different strain, a virus, not an STI. Freaked me out hearing 'HPV' lol. But I couldn't have an STI anyway.

Do they go away Kim? Eek, I'm going to be a giant wart when I finish having kids!! ewwww......

[~Kim~]

Mine haven't gone away on their own ever, but I also do have HPV on my cervix which apprears resistant to burning, so maybe I'm just germy lol. Just for the record I've only had 2 partners and both have tested negative for HPV so it's just my natural flora.
When I was doing my nursing training I had no fingerprints - that's how bad they were. Enough to get me into a medication trial which worked wonders and I never had another back until the kids.

My mum and my aunt however have theirs come and go.
