A member asked:
My 3 year old has had a squamous papilloma for almost two years now inside his lower lip. how did he get this? no one in the family has hpv 6 or 11.

No certain answer.: Oral squamous papilloma are thought to be caused by HPV, most commonly 6 and 11, it is possible that other strains could also cause the lesion. In addition, unless it has been biopsied, squamous papilloma could be confused with verrucas vulgaris which is also thought to be HPV induced, but with strains that often cause common warts on the skin but can occur on mucous membranes.
