Anyone have problems with docs not finding them all?
I was just wondering (this is mostly for girls cause we have all sorts of nooks and crannies where they could hide)do you ladies go in for treatment, tell the doctor they are located in X,Y,Z area, the doctor only treats areas X and Y and you have to go back and get Z treated? I'm dwindling down to my last few GW's and would like them all to be gone. THe remaining ones are small and hard to see, but geez, if I see them, why are the docs not seeing them? I would like to stop going to the doctor every week!

If I were you I would treat the remaining few with Aldara since they're so small. And general rule of thumb, if you can't see them with the naked eye - don't worry!

Thanks Craig-I would try that except that they are (ahem) internal, and I don't need to be shoving cream in there.

After my first breakout was treated, I noticed them coming back, small but sure. Doc insisted it was my normal skin but they just happened to get bigger and spread into a really bad breakout. I know my "normal skin" from warts. Trust your own instinct. My Derm. will freeze whatever I am concerned about, whether he thinks it's a wart or not. Find another Doc. is my suggestion. Better to catch em right away.

I agree with the previous post. TRUST UR OWN INSTINCT! i went in thinking i had warts, doc told me it was herpes, 2 tests came back neg, then came a biopsy, then a month later he brigns me in to tell me i have warts. no sh*t shirlock! thats just one example, point them out urself while ur on the table anything to get rid of what u know does not belong -- no one knows your body better than you.

your doctor could also be money hungry. alot of docs will try to get you in on more than one visit.

uhg, great....they just make me feel like a jerk going in there and being like, you forgot this one, one didn't get this one. Last time i went in he told me not to worry about one little one...well the last doc said that and I had a huge outbreak months later.
