A member asked:

Can a hpv shot protect me from common warts?

Dr. Howard Fox answered

Specializes in Podiatry

No: There are 99 species of the hpv and one species has little to do with the other. The hpv vaccine is limited to only one species of hpv, which is not the one that causes common warts we get on the skin. Warts can be pretty frustrating, so be persistent under the care of a dermatologist.
