@eth yes i do have a form of hpv that might go away in 12 months or itll progress to the one that need treatment. im kninda in the middle sitting on the fence seeing if my body can fight it off.
its scaring the shite out of me and its a constant reminder of my past
i also have what im thinking is a breast cyst as well that has been there through 2 bouts of antibiotics already and the more irritated it is the more i squeeze it and the more it then really really burns!
and at the moment as well im dealing with a downstair infection which has come up like a staph infection which has me worried as well
@Shaz51 you asked me to retag you here too

Oh @outlander sorry to hear that. I had it when I was quite young too. I used lots of herbal medicine and diet from a qualified naturopath but ended up having the procedure when it advanced. I healed from the procedure really easily after a long time trying to fight it before that. The irony is that the last pap smear before I had the procedure said I was all better! But they didn't tell me until I was already prepped for the procedure and they did the procedure anyway. The good news is that the hpv has never come back since then (30 years).

@outlander I hope your Dr knows about all these things including what you are doing to the cyst. I do think it would be best not to keep squeezing it. It would be worse if it got infected. Hoping the ABs work for you. How awful having all those things at the same time. I feel for you. I think the staph is treatable but your Dr must be in charge of your treatment for it.
