HPV is the most common sexually transmitted infection that causes skin or mucous membrane growths (warts). The pathogen of HPV is a DNA virus from the Papillomaviridae family. There are more than 100 varieties of HPV. Some are prone to different types of cancer, including those of the anus, penis, vagina, and the posterior region of the throat. These infections are often transmitted sexually or through skin-to-skin contact.

Symptoms:

1.Genital Warts: These appear as flat lesions like bumps. In women, genital warts appear mostly on the vulva but can also form near the anus, on the cervix, or in the vagina. In men, genital warts appear on the penis, scrotum, or around the anus. Genital warts rarely cause pain, however they may cause itching or tenderness.

2. Common Warts: These appear as rough, elevated bumps and can appear on the hands and fingers. They are small grainy bumps that are rough to the touch. Common warts are unsightly but painful and susceptible to injury or bleeding. These warts are contagious and spread through direct contact with a wart.

3.Some HPV infections cause lesions on the tongue, tonsils, soft palate, or within in the larynx.

Prevention:

If an individual has contracted a common wart through an HPV infection, you can prevent the spreading or the development of new warts by avoiding biting your nails or fidgeting with the wart itself. To reduce the risk of contracting HPV through genital lesions, reduce the number of sexual partners and use protection (condoms) during sexual intercourse. Vaccination is also an efficient prevention method, however, it is not effective for those who have previously contracted HPV. Gardasil 9 is a vaccine approved by the CDC that is proven effective.

Treatments: Gardasil 9

Medications are a reliable source of treatment. Medications used to eliminate the formation of warts are applied directly to the lesion and require many applications before they’re effective. Examples such as Salicylic acid are used to treat these warts. Salicylic acid is an ingredient in over-the-counter medications that work by removing layers of the wart in small increments over time. Another resource is Podofilox. It is a topical prescription cream that works by destroying genital wart tissue. Surgical procedures are another alternative regarding the desire to remove warts produced by HPV. Freezing off the wart with liquid nitrogen or surgical removal are alternative treatment methods that are more time-efficient.
