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

not all hpv infection will cause cancer. The hpv strains causing wart and cancer are totally different and mode of transmission also different. No need to worry
