How can i tell that have hpv in the mouth before i visit a dentist?what signs can i check for?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Here are some...: A growing cauliflower-like lesion may be a wart; if stationary in appearance and size, it may be just a normal tag. In my experience, layperson's eye is not keen enough to verify; at times, a lesion may elude the eyes of the experienced and require a biopsy for confirmation. So, let doctor take a look and ask her.him as needed.
