The warts in your hands or feet that you describe are associated with low risk HPV types. These low risk types are not associated with cancer. Thank you for using HeathTap for your health questions!

The HPV strains causing warts on hands and feet are not associated with increased risk of cancer. You should get HPV vaccine to prevent infection with more dangerous strains of HPV.
