HPV: With active HPV, ask your internist or rheumatologist about immunosuppressants while having an active viral infection. The use of some forms of immunosuppressant therapy can both exaggerate the number and locations of HPV lesions, and in some cases, hasten conversion to cancerous forms of HPV. See an oncologist to plan a strategy.
