Genital warts are believe it or not, the worlds most common sexually transmitted disease.
With numbers running into the tens and hundreds of millions, fear not, your not alone.
Ok, so you have genital warts and are not to happy about it.
The first thing that anyone should do and yes this sounds fairly obvious is admit it to your self.
Maybe some part of your mind has been juggling the possibility that its only a rash, maybe your pants are too tight, "its the hot weather it always does this to me".
No, its not the hot weather.
You have been unfortunate enough to contract an unpleasant little critter of a disease but one that is easily remedied if right steps are taken.
To start with, do not under any circumstance have sex with a partner.
We are told that using a condom is OK but really, do your think your current partner will be OK with that? Do not touch or scratch them in any way shape or form.
This will only antagonize the condition.
If you do happen to touch them, make sure you wash your hands thoroughly.
To put it crudely, these things are so virulent that even a handshake will be enough to transfer them.
Yes that is true and yes it does sound scary.
The number one rule and again, blindingly obvious.
Go and see a qualified professional right away.
Do not put it off for another week because these things will multiply like the Borg.
