i believe i may have HPV (warts) in my mouth (my ex-partner had genital warts). i have several small, hard whitish bumps on my upper gum (three in a row, two others in two different locations). the latest one just appeared yesterday. who is the best specialist to diagnose this? an ENT, or a dermatologist (or perhaps a gynecologist since they are sexually transmitted)? i've read that dentists are often the first to spot oral warts, but i can't see my dentist about this as he is a family friend.
also, is there any test yet to find out if one is infected orally with the cancer-causing strains of HPV?
many thanks.
