New Electro Waveform Technology Effective at Eliminating the Painful Symptoms of Molluscum in Children and Adults
Springville, Utah (PRWEB) January 24, 2012
Molluscum, a relative of the chicken pox, was once a childhood disease but today it also is a sexually transmitted disease that can be spread between adults, according to the Center for Disease Control. until now, molluscum treatment could be painful and uncomfortable.
But now there is a new, pain-free way to eliminate the symptoms of molluscum maladies caused by viruses. the VyGone Inhibitor Zapper harnesses the power of electro waveform technology for the treatment of mollusum, as well as genital warts, shingles and other conditions caused by microscopic viruses.
When applied to infected areas, the mild electro waveform released by the VyGone Zapper stops viral activities and allows fast natural healing, eliminating ugly and embarrassing molluscum symptoms.
Molluscum is transmitted by skin-to-skin contact with active weeping lesions and from contaminated objects, clothing or towels. Frequently children and adults contract the virus in bathrooms and public swimming pool areas.
Its symptoms are ugly and painful: fleshy, pearly-white, gray-white, yellow or pink colored papule lesions, beginning as small bumps, becoming larger over time. Lesions are often on the face, legs, arms, trunk, lower abdomen, thighs, buttocks, anal region, groin, labia, and scrotum. the affected areas have itching and tenderness, lasting from two weeks to years.
To use VyGone, simply place the two prongs on your skin and press the buttons on the side of the zapper. a light will come on that indicates that the device is working properly. the first light will stay on for about ten seconds. a second light will then come on, which indicates that the zapper has reversed the direction of the electrical flow.
To eliminate molluscom symptoms, simply apply the Viral Inhibitor Pro up to 8 times daily to each papule. to prevent lesions, users emphasize early detection and immediate applications.
The VyGone Zapper Pro is good for thousands and thousands of treatments.
VyGone also can be used for the symptoms of viruses caused by shingles, moles, genital warts and other conditions.
The VyGone Zapper is also effective for people who are prone to cold sores. they normally feel an initial tingling before the signature blister appears. once they erupt, embarrassing, humiliating cold sores form in and around the mouth often stay visible for throughout their 7 to 14 day cycle.
But just a few applications of the VyGone Zapper stimulate neural signals that stop blisters and lesions from appearing. this electrical device provides a safe, noninvasive remedy which allows the body’s fast healing immune system to quickly suppress cold sores until their next eruption. For Kitt, a cold sore sufferer from Oregon, VyGone was better than any cold sore treatments she had used in the past.
“As a pharmaceutical rep, I usually get the best prescriptions out there to combat my cold sores,” Kitt said. “Recently I moved from Kansas to Oregon for a new job. well, the stress of everything involved with that caused two separate cold sores in about two weeks. this was the first time that I was excited about getting them because I wanted to test out the Zapper to see if it worked as well as everyone told me. After using it myself, I’d have to say that it worked as good as or better than any prescription drug I have ever used.”
The VyGone Zapper mainly targets Herpes viruses associated with molluscum, cold sores (oral Herpes), shingles, and genital Herpes. it can be applied to warts, moles and other growths caused by Herpes. the Zapper is harmless, non-invasive, non-chemical, non-addictive and has no side-effects. Handheld and portable, the Zapper is private and close at hand for an attack. over time, with consistent use, viral attacks lessen in frequency, severity and duration.
People with molluscum can now stop paying thousands of dollars for over the counter ointments and creams, for prescription treatments or even cold sore remedie. get long-lasting relief from the VyGone Zapper.

Three treatment options can be used to get rid of warts
DEAR DOCTOR K: I recently developed a wart on my hand. what can I do to get rid of it?
DEAR READER: Warts are caused by a virus. when the virus infects skin cells, they grow faster than normal. It’s not clear why, but some people are more prone to warts than others.
Skin warts aren’t highly contagious. but the virus that causes warts can spread from person to person by direct contact, and warts on one part of the body can spread to other areas. That’s why it’s important to wash your hands after touching a wart — yours or someone else’s, like your kids’ warts.
Warts are generally harmless and often disappear on their own over time. It’s not clear why some warts go away and other warts don’t. one theory about those that go away is that the immune system responds to the viral infection that causes the warts. Another is that the virus just “poops out” and stops causing cells to grow faster than normal.
Some doctors think stress may bring out warts. The theory is that the virus that causes warts lives inside a person’s skin cells quietly, not making trouble. when a person is under stress, the immune system does not do as good a job of keeping the virus in check. As a result, the wart starts to develop.
I have had patients with recurrent warts who swear that warts are more likely to appear when they are under stress. I think it’s a plausible, but unproven, theory.
If you’re not too bothered by their appearance, it’s fine to just keep an eye on warts. They may just go away. on the other hand, promptly treating a wart should reduce the chances of it spreading to another part of your body.
Getting rid of warts can be a challenge, but there are several treatment options you can try:
- Salicylic acid. this is the main ingredient in aspirin, and it should usually be your first choice. Salicylic acid costs little and has minimal side effects. it comes in various over-the-counter preparations, including liquids, gels and patches. to treat a wart, soak it for 10 to 15 minutes. File away the dead warty skin with an emery board or pumice stone and apply the salicylic acid. do this once or twice a day for 12 weeks.
- Freezing (cryotherapy). A clinician swabs or sprays liquid nitrogen onto the wart and a small surrounding area. The extreme cold burns the skin, causing pain, redness and usually a blister. Getting rid of the wart this way usually takes three or four treatments, one every two to three weeks.
- Duct tape. believe it or not, silver (not clear) duct tape may work, although studies have come to different conclusions about this. place the duct tape over your wart for six days. Remove the tape, soak and file the wart, and leave it uncovered overnight. Reapply the duct tape in the morning and leave the tape in place for another six days. Follow this regimen for two months or until the wart disappears.

The deadly cancer on the rise among women in Uganda
Cervical cancer is the commonest cancer among women in their mid-30s. Symptoms of this type of cancer vary according to their stage, with no symptoms in the first stage. recent data from the Uganda Cancer Registry indicates that the cervical cancer incidence rate (new infections) has risen from 38.1 per 100, 000 women annually in 1991-1995 to 52.4 per 100, 000 annually.
This increase is attributed to the fact that more ladies are undergoing screening, there is increased public awareness and health workers are efficiently detecting the virus that causes cervical cancer.
Oncologists say the main cause of this cancer is sub-type 16 and 18 of the human papillomavirus (HPV), which account for 70 per cent of all cervical cancer cases in the world. However, not all the women who have this virus develop the cancer. Dr Fred Okuku, a medical oncologist at Mulago Hospital, says young ladies are the most vulnerable group. this is because the epithelial lining in the cervices of these girls is not fully developed.
Therefore, if they engage in sex at this age, the friction would damage the epithelium. if it were with a man who has cancer of the penis (a chronic and persistent ulceration of the penis), the lady would in the process get HPV.Dr. Okuku explains, “Since the lining is delicate (immature), if the young women engages in sexual intercourse, it damages their cervices, and thus, exposes them to infection.
No symptoms in the early stagesduring the first 10 to 15 years after infection, there are no symptoms. In this phase, the lady might not even suspect that she has cervical cancer. so the viral infection gnaws their cervix. It is because there are no symptoms in this stage that medical oncologists urge all ladies to go for pap-smears.
Pap smears are free of charge in government hospitals. But in private health facilities, the charge ranges between Sh20,000 to Sh50,000. during a pap smear, an oncologist or medical attendant inserts a small brush in the cervix and lightly rubs it against the walls of the cervix to get some cells that will be tested for cancerous cells using a microscope. if the oncologist detects cancerous cells, they could use cryotherapy, that is, put a very cold swab in the cervix to incapacitate the cells that could be turning cancerous. the oncologist surgeon could also remove a section of the cervix to prevent spreading of the cancerous cell.
In extreme cases, they will remove the uterus, which would mean no more conceiving. such surgery is done free of charge in the government hospitals.“In the private health facilities, removal of the uterus costs Sh2m to Shs3m,” says Dr Okuku. But once cervical cancer matures, the infected lady will experience pain during intercourse. she will also bleed as a man tries to penetrate her. And in some cases, she could bleed even when not engaging in sex. “This bleeding sometimes confuses some women who are infected with the HPV virus into thinking that their period is taking unusually long to end,” says Dr Okuku.
Once it is in the advanced stages, cervical cancer could be treated through chemotherapy combined with radiation therapy or chemotherapy alone. Chemotherapy is usually free at the Uganda Cancer Institute “as stocks last”. if you go there when the stocks are out, you would have to buy the drug. only one drug is used for chemotherapy. There is a user fee of Sh50,000 for radiation therapy.
Other symptoms are pelvic and lower abdominal pains, foul-smelling vaginal discharge, and anaemia due to over-bleeding. Dr Okuku says the other factors that put ladies at risk of HPV include HIV/Aids infection, sexually transmitted diseases and polygamy. Partly because of these, there is a lot of stigma.
A polygamous man could have a wife with the HPV, from whom he would acquire it and later transmit it to a woman who was not infected. Dr Okuku says cervical cancer is easier to control – as long as the group at risk goes for early testing and if diagnosed with the HPV, seeks early treatment.
Presently, efforts are being made to prevent the scourge. Vaccine trials are being piloted in Uganda targeting girls around primary five and who have neither engaged in sexual activity nor been infected with the HPV. the vaccines are meant to produce antibodies to that will be used to protect vulnerable women from HPV.
Can skin warts (not genital warts) be spread to other parts of the body using a razor?
I think I have a wart on my leg . It used to be a scab from a cut that I got from shaving, but I guess because I picked at it, it turned into a wart. I realized that I use the same razor to shave my bikini area. I shaved my legs a few days ago, and this morning I used that razor to shave that area. Can warts spread down there. and if they do, will it still be a plain old skin wart and not genital warts, since it wasnt sexually transmitted?
A scab from a cut can't be a wart. A wart is from a virus. if you did have a wart, shaving could spread them to anywhere you shave. but again, not sure you actually have a wart. if you see another one come out, you should have them treated at a dermatologist so they do not spread out of control.
Can warts from your own hand or foot be passed to your vagina?
I know you're thinking, uhm no they are a different strand of virus right? Well yes, that's what I thought until I got myself into a Google frenzy and on many other answer sites and forums ETC, they're saying and giving "personal" examples of this not being true. Saying that they personally had a wart on their hand etc and masturbated and got genital warts and it was affirmed by their doctor. But this is the internet so…. Is this possible or not?
I think it really just depends on the type of wart you have on your hand or whatever. But yeah, I've heard of this happening too…but I really have no idea if it's true or not.
Genital warts..your experience for heterosexual men?
i was recently diagnosed with genital warts, and since then i have been researching the subject… there is so much emphasis on women and not enough on men, at leastt that's what i think.. anyway like most people infected i've read tons on the subject and i'm still confused…. heterosexual men, please write about your experiences with this disease.. e.g. was this virus really cleared? how outbreaks have you had after the first one? have you moved on and had regular relationships with women where they weren't infected? had a normal family with children? i have been freaking out and i am doing all i can to stop them from coming back.. eating healthy, quit smoking. quit drinking and promised to never have sex again until i get married and im positive i wont infect anyone. so please write your experiences, it would be extremely appreciated.
^haha. Person obviously didn't read your post.
There is no test for men to check one’s overall “HPV status.” but HPV usually goes away on its own, without causing health problems. So an HPV infection that is found today will most likely not be there a year or two from now.
you're body will eventually clear hpv so you are taking the right steps to keep your immune system up. I find the website listed below has the most accurate information.
i am sorry to hear that u have herpes , and i heard that can not be cured ! hope it is not the turth .i think u can come to those related sites like "herpesanddating.net" o"DatingHerpesSingles.com" for help, many herpes people there . feel free to chat, share stories, make friends in your local area! they experienced more and know more ,take care ,good luck!
If genital warts do not appear, is it still possible to spread these warts to your sexual partner?
I have been tested positive for hpv.
Your positive HPV test was probably due to your Pap test finding abnormal cell changes and the HPV test being positive. the HPV test is screening the cervix only. the HPV test screens for 13 high risk HPV types only. Visible lesions are usually cased by low risk HPV type. an HPV test is a screening of the cervix only. we may also have the virus on the vulva but it is not showing visible lesions or warts.
Both male and female can have high risk or low risk HPV types and never show any signs of the virus.
Most partners share our HPV type. yes, it is possible and very probable that your partner shares your HPV type… he may never show any signs of the virus such as a wart. many times the male partner shares the virus but the virus only causing small flat warts that are often not seen without magnification.
Sometimes high risk HPV types do show as external visible warts.
Condoms help the virus regress, condoms helps aid in the healing of the cervix and condoms reduce virual load. You and your partner probably share your HPV type but using condoms have been shown to be of benefit.
HPV types 16, 18, 31, 33, and 35 are found occasionally in visible genital warts
cdc.gov/std/treatment/2006/ge…
When one partner has HPV lesions caused by a particular virus type, it is most likely that the other partner shares the same virus type, although this is often impossible to prove. several studies indicate that "shared HPV" does not "ping-pong" back and forth. there is evidence that using condoms may decrease the viral exposure and speed the clearance of HPV related disease. the decreased viral load may allow the individual's own immune system a better chance of eliminating the virus.
Likewise, most studies of women with cervical HPV disease indicate that approximately 64-70% of their partners will have HPV penile lesions if evaluated clinically. most often, these are so small that neither partner is aware of their presence.

Would you date someone with genital warts?
So, this question goes out primarily to the females. and I do not want answers with people who already have genital warts, I want answers from people who are disease free. There's no wrong answer, but I would prefer if you said yes or no, for you to explain your reasoning. Lets all try to be adults here.
Well, if they have actual physical genital warts I would like to see them treat that problem before we date.
If they have the virus, honestly, it's a bit of a factor working against them, since if eventually we had unprotected sex, I would likely get it too, but if I like that person and see long-term potential, then it wouldn't stop me. I would not sign up for a casual relationship, it would have to be serious if I'm going to take the risk.
NO i heard that 8 out of 10 women in the U.S. have hpv which leads to genital warts obviously. I dont want to willingly give my body an STI that may potentially stay with me for the rest of my life and or turn into cervical cancer. Sharing warts is not a part of love or a requirement in a relationship ewww i would rather be single and wart free
Hate to burst your bubble but in the UK its estimated that up to 40% of young women (by the time they reach 30) will have aready "met" a genital wart virus. many of these viruses dont actually cause warts. most folk will not know that they are even infected.
No, I don't think I would. It seems unpleasant and I'd rather not risk catching it.
you just answered my last question similar to yours……and knowing me…HELL NO
Are flat warts contagious?
my boyfriend thinks that he had a few flat warts on his hand.. (they're pretty much gone now) but i think that i probably did hold his hand while he had them. nothing has showed up on me yet *knock on wood*, but i was wondering if i could get it?
Any wart is contagious as it caused by a virus.
Very difficult.
read- doctorgoodskin.com/ds/warts/
no warts are not contagious
it's possible, warts are caused by a virus, and viruses for the most part spread thru contact.
You might get it or you might not. . .some people are more vulnerable than others. . .chances are, you won't get it
