Question: since condyloma acuminatum is non curable, what the best thing i should do?
Answer: If you have the HPV virus that causes condyloma accuminatum or genital warts, you should take care of all outbreaks as soon as they emerge. Aldara cream/ointment is the drug of choice and actually attacks the virus - if your body responds well to Aldara it can sometimes keep the warts from ever reappearing again! If you have frequent outbreaks that do not responds well to Aldara - you can see a dermatologist to have the warts frozen or lazered off. There is a higher chance of them recurring if you have to go this route. Remember that you can pass the virus onto a sexual partner even if you cannot see any warts - so always practice safe sex!
Question: what is condyloma acuminatum?
Answer: Genital warts (or condyloma, condylomata acuminata, or venereal warts) is a highly contagious sexually transmitted infection. Caused by some sub-types of human papillomavirus (HPV) genital warts are spread through direct skin-to-skin contact during oral, genital, or anal sex with an infected partner. Genital warts are the most easily recognized sign of genital HPV infection.
ypes 6 and 11 are the most common.[1] Most people who acquire those strains never develop warts or any other symptoms. HPV is also responsible for many cases of cervical cancer.
Genital warts often occur in clusters and can be very tiny or can spread into large masses in the genital or penis area. In women the warts occur on the outside and inside of the vagina, on the opening (cervix) to the womb (uterus), or around the anus. While genital warts are approximately as prevalent in men, the symptoms of the disease may be less obvious. When present, they usually are seen on the tip of the penis. They also may be found on the shaft of the penis, on the scrotum, or around the anus. Rarely, genital warts also can develop in the mouth or throat of a person who has had oral sex with an infected person.
