[Edit] |
How to know if you have HPV.
HPV
HPV lesions are typically found on mucuos membranes, the genitals or lips. You probably are developing small benign skin tags. Talk with a dermatologist. They can easily be burned, frozen, or surgically excised in the office.
More input from FAQ Farmers:
HPV is a sexually transmitted disease that is cause by Human Papilloma Virus. There are approx. 60 different stains of this virus, 5 of those have been implicated in causing cervical cancer. There is no evidence the virus is transmitted any way other than sexual contact. Skin tags are benign lesions found on the skin, most commomly in the arm pit, groin, and neck, and have no relationship to HPV. There may be a hereditary tendency to develop these lesions which are usually asymptomatic, however they can be irritated by rubbing on clothing and need removal.
