I would confirm the diagnosis with a biopsy. About 8 years ago there was an article linking Tagamet to getting rid of warts. I used it successfully. Further studies have shown that this treatment is rarely successful in adults, and sometimes can work in kids. I do not use it in my practice now, but would consider it in your case. The doses are high. THe theory is that it affects your immune system so you can fight off the virus. You can also supplement with high doese of vitamin C and try some hoempathic remedies (a homeopathic doctor or pharmacy should be able to help you).
