Cancer from HPV
Hi Sir/Madam,
I am bit worried about HPV. Few years back on 2017 I removed a verruca wart(doctor told me that it is verruca) form the back of my right thigh. It was on the outer side of my thigh. I had this wart from 2 - 3 years back before removing it on 2017. Till now I have not got any other wart.
As I had this wart I am worried about having other kind of HPVs which can cause cancer. Is there anything I could do to get rid of HPV if I have it in my body ?
I am unable to get rid of this fear and it's affecting me very badly. Please help me.
Thanks
Monojit
