Recovering from an HPV outbreak?

Question:

I'm a dude and I've had HPV for about 5 years. I knew I had it cause my girlfriend in college had it before we got together and we had unprotected sex alot- it was a monogomous relationship and we were both under the impression that men cannot become symptomatic of HPV, meaning they don't get outbreaks of warts. Anyhow, about 6 months ago I noticed that I had an outbreak around my a**hole. Don't know what brought it on, althought I had recently lost a lot of weight, so I think maybe my immune system was weakend. Anyhow, I didn't get treatment cause it I was too embarrassed, and I'm glad now because I'm almost cleared up after eating well and exercising daily. There are only one or two left and occasionally I itch. HERE'S THE REAL QUESTION: Is there any cream or anything that I can use to go ahead and finish it off? Help if you can, I don't want to have to get them burned off;(

Answers:
Try Aldara. It's prescription, but you can order it online. It works.

"ALDARA stimulates the body's own immune system to identify and fight the virus that causes genital warts. ALDARA is a non-destructive treatment that attacks the HPV virus. In fact, actual levels of the HPV virus which causes genital warts have been reduced through treatment with ALDARA."

Other Answers:
You don't need to get them lasered off or burned off unless they are really bad. Aldara cream is awesome! You need a prescription from your doctor and it is embarrassing to have them look at you, but believe me, it is well worth it.

You apply the cream 3 times a week. It is very acidic and can give you 2nd and 3rd degree burns, so make sure you follow the directions well! Within a few weeks they will completely disappear. I got genital warts about 6 months ago, treated them with Aldara cream, and they haven't come back.

Good luck to you!
