Moles not from HPV: Hpv family of viruses, as far as we know, aren't a cause of moles. Hpv 11 is the cause of genital warts. A dermatologist should periodically examine moles and your primary doctor would help treat genital warts.

See your derm: Any new skin lesions should be brought to the attention of your friendly dermatologist. I am not aware of any link between moles and hpv.
