Dear TeenHealthFX,

Dear Anal Warts Girl,
TeenHealthFX apologizes if we did not respond to your question concerning anal warts quickly enough. We receive many questions each week and try our best to respond to all of them. We also do not discriminate based upon race, color or sex. Your questions are completely anonymous, we do not even receive your e-mail address. So unless you provide us with the information of you color or race we are not able to determine it.
You really need to see a doctor about your anal warts in order to have them treated and removed. They are caused by the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) and if they go without medical treatment they can cause further medical problems. For more information concerning anal warts see Big Anal Wart Guy. If you need a doctor and live in northern New Jersey you can call the Adolescent/Young Adult Center For Health at 973.889.6350 for an appointment. If you do not live in this area you can contact your local teen health clinic or Planned Parenthood for help.
Good Luck!
