Consultation: Anal Warts
Up to 70,000 cases of anal and genital warts are diagnosed every year in the UK, and they are usually spread by sexual contact. In this Embarrassing Illnesses consultation, Dr Dawn Harper uses freezing as the method of ridding anal warts from a patient who has been sitting on them for a long time!

Most hospitals have clinics that are confidential and deal with 'down there' they are called GUM clinics, if you are too embarrased to go to you Dr try ringing the hosp and see if they have one. they have seperate files with no names on to any hospital appointment files you have.
Warticom(perscribed from Dr or free from clinic) worked for me when freezing didnt.
I'm still working on the hand warts and verucas so i know how you all feel but I hope that helps someone.

I started sleeping with someone a few months ago. During this time I noticed I was quite sore around the opening of my vagina, now there appears to be skin tags in the same area as well as a couple of hard lumps that definitely look like warts, these are around the opening of my vagina and on the labia on one side. Please can you give me some advice on what to do? I'd also like to know if I'll always have the infection and will I always pass it on to other people, even if I get rid of the visible symtoms?? Please help!!
