Are all warts caused by HPV?

So far, it has been determined that all warts are related to some type of HPV.

We must remember that to date, more than 100 different variants have been discovered, making this one of the most common viruses and in most cases it is totally asymptomatic when the aforementioned warts are not present.

It is also true that HPV warts are often misinterpreted as the growth of bumps caused by shaving, adding other factors such as certain skin infections.

As a recommendation, you should always go to a specialist if you are not totally sure about the possibility of contagion due to the Human Papillomavirus.

Or if symptoms such as, for example, appear:

pain in the area where the warts appear,
if these warts continue to spread throughout the body,
or if you feel a strong itch in the affected area.

What can be mistaken for genital warts?

Genital warts caused by the Human Papillomavirus can easily be confused with other skin lesions such as:

herpes,
folliculitis, caused by an infection at the roots of the pubic hairs due to improper shaving,
and even pimples resulting from high levels of stress in other areas of the body.

It is recommended to perform a series of steps to determine if one or several warts have been caused by HPV. These steps involve:

initial physical examination,
studies such as colposcopy or peniscopy,
certain studies based on antigen detection,
HPV DNA hybridization,
among others.

It is advisable not to attempt to neutralize the warts on your own, as the smart option will always be to go to a specialist for an accurate diagnosis of your current condition.

How do I know what type of wart I have?

As we have mentioned in past content, science has currently cataloged more than 100 different types of HPV that represent risk levels ranging from the lowest to the highest.

This makes the immune system react in various ways when fighting this virus…

…especially depending on how strong the body’s defenses are, since they play a crucial role in protecting your body in such scenarios.

To expand your knowledge about warts caused by the Human Papillomavirus, we present a brief list with their respective categories.

Common warts

Common warts are those that are produced by HPV types 1, 2, 4, and 7, usually asymptomatic, although in certain scenarios they may cause almost imperceptible pain or itching.

Filiform warts

In this type of wart, treatment is usually carried out relatively simply by the specialist. They usually grow in areas such as the eyelids, face, neck, and even the lips.

Another detail about these warts is that they are asymptomatic and do not pose a risk to the physical integrity of the person who has them.

Anogenital warts

As their name indicates, these are warts on the genital area and anus.

Flat warts

These warts are caused by HPV types 3, 10, 26, 27, 28, 29, and 41. As their name suggests, they have an almost flat surface and a yellowish color, although other types of pink or similar to the pigmentation of the individual who has them are also known.

The growth areas of these warts are mostly on the face. And although they are asymptomatic, their treatment is a bit more complicated.

Palmar and plantar warts

Lastly, we have plantar and palmar warts, which grow on the palm of the hand and the sole of the feet.

It should be noted that they are produced by HPV types 1, 2, and 4, with the main characteristic being the physical pain they cause to the person who has them, especially in areas of the body where pressure with certain surfaces or objects is unavoidable.

These were some tips to help you know how to deal with HPV. However, there is much more you need to do if you really want to get rid of HPV and warts forever.

What you need to do is GET RID OF THE ROOT of the problem.

For that reason, I recommend you to look into Dr. Kirkland's story and how he was able to cure HPV and get rid of warts for good.

How does the human papillomavirus start in women?

Women can contract the Human Papillomavirus through sexual intercourse with one or more people where the oral, vaginal, and even anal area has been involved.

The virus uses channels of transmission such as the rubbing of warts located in the genital area, as well as the transfer of bodily fluids during activity.

As an important additional fact, HPV can be transmitted even if the person who has it is asymptomatic.

How do I know if warts are bad?

The best way to know if certain warts pose an imminent health danger is to always go to your specialist to answer the relevant questions.

You should also undergo specific studies for the detection of HPV and eliminate any lesions within the cervix that could result in cancer in the future.

It is equally important to remember the need to have a strong immune system through the consumption of foods with vitamins A, B, and C, which are fundamental for prevention and even elimination of the virus.
