While I don't think the doctor's treatment was exactly, um, fabulous, I will say that HPV can be identified while you're having an outbreak without having to take any samples. HPV (and it's variants and precursors) CAN be pre-cursors to cervical cancer, but is not always. I had a similar outbreak - not HPV, but something minor that I seem to have caught on our honeymoon in Jamaica (the doctor says they can be transmitted via towels, etc., so that may have been the culprit) and she just dabbed the acid on the areas that were affected. I'm amazed your practitioner doused you without warning and ESPECIALLY in such a sensitive area! Mine was just on my thighs and I thought I was going to go nuts from the itching/burning. O_O DO file a complaint. This behavior was just unbelievable. Definitely call another practice and try to squeeze in - make sure you explain the situation since most practices are very sympathetic about such issues. Warm water may ease some of the burning, but test a few drops first to make sure you aren't too sensitive. Cold compress can help too.
