See answers to your previous questions. IF you have HPV, it's probably HPV1, which is a low risk type. Please no more questions about this. See a dermatologist and take it from there. Good luck.

Get HPV vaccine to prevent infection with cancer causing strains of HPV. The strains causing warts are usually not high risk infections.
