Oral warts, YES IT HAPPENS!!

If you've done this already please disregard, but have you gone to a dentist or eyes, ears and nose doctor to make sure what you have is indeed warts? the problem with the mouth is there are so many bumps (natural bumps) that if you look and start paying attention it can alarm you... for instance at the very back of the tongue you will see bumps but they are your taste buds. If you are sure they are warts, try the cimitidine (Tagemet) at 600-800mg a day (every day) for 2 months. Cimitidine at higher dosages is an immune system booster and has shown to be effective in clearing genital warts. You can but cimitidine in Walmart. they come in 200mg pills so you can take 1.5 to 2 pills in the morning and again at night...

I can understand your concern check out safe and natural therapies offered by Biogetica. Me and my partner are really thankful for the relief they have given to us.< ="tex">

Yes, I am sure they are warts, I have not been to the dentist because i do not have insurance yet, should have it in a week or so...  If you could see the inside of my mouth, you would know too.  The underside of my tongue has bumps, spikes, skintag-like growths, and the sides of my tongue are full of them(and I mean side by side, clumps of spiky pink growths), my tonsils are swollen and abnormally bumpy, the roof of my mouth is discolored, my lips have developed clusters of tiny flesh-colored bumps.  This is a nightmare I never dreamed would happen to me.  It haunts me everyday, and as much as I try to forget about it, I can feel the warts in my mouth, I feel disgusting!

I have been taking tagamet, but not regularly as i should, along with the other vitamin cocktail i have been taking. I have a horrible immune system, the warts are spreading so quickly, I don't believe any of this will work.  I work full time and attend school full time, so i am very busy.  Now I am worried about RRP (Recurrent Respiratory Papillomatosis), an upper respiratory disease caused by Oral HPV.

To answer Beth's question, YES, lesbians can catch HPV orally, anyone who makes contact with an infected person, whether in conventional sex, oral sex, or anal sex can become infected.  The cells of the mouth are extremely similar to those of the genitals, so almost any STD can be caught there as well (i.e. Clamydia, Gonorrhea, Herpes, Syphillis).  I apologize for the graphic nature of this post, but I believe it has spread to my clitoris also. You can literally get it ANYWHERE down there or in your mouth/throat.

Protect yourself! Don't make the mistake I did! If there is a chance your partner has HPV, do not have sex with them ESPECIALLY not oral! Condoms don't fully protect you against warts because they are transferred by skin to skin contact and not bodily fluids.  Warts can sometimes be so small at first that they are microscopic, and you wont notice them, especially not in "the heat of the moment".  Be smart, your health is more important than sex.

I try not to let this destroy my life, I try to be thankful for what I do have... But my dad always said "Be thankful you have your health!"  But now that I don't have my health, what should I be thankful for?  What will I have when my breathing is obstructed by warts and my lips are swollen with bumps?  God help me... It is a devastating thing.  And worse, it is something I have to keep to myself.  Life looks normal from the outside, til you look at my tongue!

Good luck to anyone else dealing with this horrible ordeal.  God bless the other people suffering in the silence of this embarassing disease.

Cleartrex worked for me. Its all in your hands! For better results it is recommend a healthy diet, exercise, and a positive attitude! 

I have oral too - had for a year now. Let me tell u what Not to do - do not apply anything containing hydrogen peroxide or it makes them spead. Mine went from being 2 bumps under my tongue into a cluster. Also I have one bump above my upper gum(all the way on top) and tried burning it w acid(salycilic and lactic) but it grew back...it doesn't bother me so I left it alone. Advice: "I don't believe it will work" is not the right attitude. "I will beat this thing sooner or later" is the one u should adopt. There's nothing embarassing and u should not feel embarassed. If u want to PM me I would not mind to be ur support group and encouraging you thru this. Also someone mentioned something about injecting one of these bumpts with some sort of virus and getting ur body to fight it off...sounded promising, do a forum search on here for "injecting". For now to relieve ur symptoms, try using clove oil b4 bedtime and I also like putting regular colgate toothpaste there(very soothing and u ll wake up with smaller bumps next morning, which is a gr8 feeling)
