Is folliculitis a symptom of hpv or does hpv cause it?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No: Folliculitis is an infection in the hair follicles on your body - usually most severe under your armpits, groin, or back or neck, but can be anyplace. HPV is a virus (Human Papillomavirus) that causes warts on your skin. Very infrequently, these warts can evolve into cancer, especially when in the genital areas

HPV vs folliculitis: No. These are entirely separate problems. Neither causes or predisposes to the other.
