A member asked:
Does the new, expanded gardasil vaccine address cutaneous (skin) based hpv stains that play a role in actinic keratosis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The short answer is no. Like the original vaccine the newer one covers two HPV strains which cause genital condylomata. These are distinct from actinic keratoses, which have been found to be associated with multiple HPV strains but the significance is unclear and causation is unproven.
