HPV: Human papilloma virus (HPV) causes warts including genital warts.

People with compromised skin, such as people with eczema and also people with immunocompromised immune systems are more likely to contract the virus.

Accepted Answer

Unique to individual: The time gap between exposure to hpv and subsequent possible development of warts or precancerous changes is unique to each person and in part depends upon the strain of hpv.  A person with impaired immunity (hiv / organ transplant recipient / other immune dysfunction) will have a more difficult time fighting off hpv infection.  Hpv is also more aggressive in cigarette smokers.

Question 10

Accepted Answer

Your doctor can: treat with topical liquid nitrogen or stronger acid substance. Surgical removal can work. I have injected them with something to stimulate the immune system to attack the wart. To get rid of them you need your immune system. Talk to your doc. Freezing has worked well. Get the vaccines for HPV as well
