Is genital warts curable?

Doctor 1

Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors

Genital warts can be treated, but they can't be cured. You're removing the warts, but you'll still have the virus that causes them. The virus may go away at some point on its own, but there's no way to know for sure. Some people will get warts again and others won't.

I'm really worried about my lips being super dry and chapped lately. I've been using lip balm twice a day, but it doesn't seem to help. Could it be because we leave the fan on high speed all night? Any ideas on what might be causing this?

Can you help me out with something? Last year, I got the full anti-rabies vaccine cycle and anti-tetanus shot because of a cat scratch. But last month, I ended up getting two booster shots after a kitten scratched me and I got bitten by a dog. Now, my cat bit me since I accidentally stepped on her tail and my wound started bleeding. Do you think I need another booster shot for this?

Since you had a recent cat bite and your wound bled, it is advisable to take another booster shot for rabies. You can take the Rabipur vaccine with a dosage of 1 mL on day 0, 3, 7, 14, and 28. Additionally, it is recommended to consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management of your wound.
