Today, there are many different sexually transmitted diseases that individuals who are sexually active need to be aware of. One of them is the threat of different types of HPV and genital warts. While there are many other types of HPV infections and sexually transmitted diseases, these warts can become a serious issue and is one of the most common of those sexual diseases out there.

When learning about genital warts, one should know that they can be transmitted by both females and males. Because of the nature of the woman’s body, these warts are far more prevalent in females. Men however, can end up becoming carriers of the warts, which are derived from HPV, otherwise known as the Human Papilloma Virus. Today, there are a variety of treatments for this sexually transmitted disease, including a vaccination that can help prevent them from spreading.

In some of the more rare cases, it has been seen that the Human Papilloma Virus (genital warts) have been spread during unclean practices. Some reports have shown that medical equipment that has not been properly cleaned and/or sanitized can lead to the transmission of the disease. While this has been shown, it remains true that the most common transmission of the virus is through sexual contact with an infected person.

If you are a woman who has been involved in sexual relations with a partner who has the Human Papilloma Virus, then you should know that your infection might not stop with you. Women who have become pregnant have passed these warts off to their children during childbirth. Once this happens, the newborn can get infected in such areas where the virus can thrive, including their mouth and throat.

Practicing safe sex should always be on the mind of those who are sexually active. The HPV virus cannot be cured; however, the genital warts that the virus causes can be treated. The medications that are used to treat the virus will cause the warts to appear less often, yet is also important to remember that even if you are not having an outbreak of the warts that are associated with the HPV virus, you can still pass it on to someone else. This is just one more reason why protecting yourself and others, when having sex, is very important.

If there is one kind of ailment or skin disorder that knows no boundaries and effects just about anyone, it would be the common wart. No matter what your age, skin type or profession, there is a chance that you will get one of these at some point in your life. To better understand common warts, it is a great idea to find out a little bit more about them.

Common Warts are caused by the HPV virus, also known as the Human Papilloma Virus. There are many other types of warts that may be found on various parts of the body. Plantar warts are found on the feet and can cause great discomfort when walking, even if the individual’s shoes are not tight fitting. If you know anything about HPV viruses, then you know that this is the virus that can also cause genital warts. This virus causes warts to appear on the genital area of both males and females. There are various types of warts that may appear on different parts of the skin. If you find that you have a common wart, then there is most likely not a cause for alarm, as they are normally not harmful.

A common wart is usually found on the hands. You may notice that it is close to one of your fingernails, especially on areas that may be dry or cracked. Some of them may have a bit of a bumpy appearance and a few people will even notice black dots. Because of their shape, some of these warts can often times get caught on your clothing or even gloves when you are trying to put them on.

Knowing that there are many different ways that common warts can be taken care of, especially if you are someone who has them, can be good news. There are a few treatments that can be purchased over the counter that can work, but unfortunately not all of them do. There are also all-natural remedies that many people have used to remove these unsightly bumps.
