human papilloma virus
"I had huge warts on my big toes and bottom of my soles for years, tried freezing, laser, to no avail.  gave up except to just keep cutting it all down and keeping it all bandaged.  Tried 100% salicylic acid which eventually did burn off a couple layers of skin which helped my feet clear up the "leather foot" part, and left the warts clearly defined.  Researched newer immunological treatments and found a doctor who started me on 5% imiquimod.  Within 6 weeks they were down by 50%, VERY CLEARLY RECEEDING!  YEA!!!   Was worried that i might have to get painful injections but this stuff seems to work!  Once a week i still cut the dead tissue off, but i am really happy so far!!!!   Been on it 6 weeks so far, and still going!"
