A member asked:
I have read on this site that a hair cannot grow through an hpv wart. i have also read that it can. which is true?

Depends: Warts do not have hair follicles and therefore cannot grow hair. A wart can form around a hair follicle and appear to have a hair coming from it - that is an illusion.

I have HPV and i wanted to know if genital warts can appear on the pubic hair?
I am not sure whether or not to think that I have the genital warts strain of hpv. I shave my pubic hair and get ingrown hairs. Should i be concerned?
I am male. Can you spread HPV if the pubic area (the part with the hair and the wart) is covered with latex but the penis itself is left uncovered?
HPV: If I have a wart on my anus (near/in opening) and my boyfriend touches my upper butt cheek (near my lower back) is he at risk? He then touched other parts of me (not genital areas) and my hair and I didn't shower after. Could this spread it?
Im scared i think I have an HPV virus i had anal sex two years ago 12 times same person, but i also think the bumps I have are ingrown hairs, not warts?
