A member asked:
Are there any hpv treatments that are not a vaccine?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Vaccines don't treat: Vaccines do not treat existing hpv. They can prevent several strains if vaccinated prior to exposure. Once you have hpv, you are stuck with a virus that may lay dormant in tissue and emerge occasionally. Superficial warts can be destroyed by laser surgery, freezing or chemical applications. Recurrent lesions can appear and be treated the same way.
