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 dealing with this really itchy waist and groin area, and it's been going on for like 18 months now. I'm pretty sure my hygiene's top-notch, so I'm wondering if maybe I caught this from using public toilets? I've been to a few doctors alreadyone thought it was mites, another said it was a fungal thing, and the last suggested it might be bacterial. But none of their treatments have worked, and I'm still stuck with this problem. Do you have any idea what else this could be or what I should do next?

Probable diagnosis is fungal infection.
