i believe i may have hpv virus for a long while. what lead me to the research was small warts on my hand and white spots appearing on my body(back/chest/arms). can i get gardasil vaccine  that will help take this away?

Accepted Answer

No: The current Gardisil can help anyone develop antibodies to the genital HPV strains. These can prevent new HPV  infections from future exposures. It does not treat any form of HPV. The common skin wart is not from the genital strains. You may have genital HPV as many do by your age, but unless you have/had warts on your genitals you don't have those strains.

Dermatologist: Consult a dermatologist. A bug bite site shouldn't remain itchy for more than 10  days or so. Some people can develop a keloid even after a scratch, but since your lesion is very firm and chronically itchy, I recommend that a specialist examine and advise you.
