papilloma of eyelid
Hi, I was recently diagnosed with a papilloma of my lower left eyelid. I am confused. Is this due to the HPV virus. I have heard conflicting views. Someone told me it could be from rubbing my eyes and allergies. Any help would be helpful. I am worried about getting more warts. Thanks
One more question when you have a moment. Could this papilloma could have been gotten from a makeup consultation if they didn't clean brushes or eyeliner? Thanks
thanks for your answer. i already have std hpv. just wondering if the eye papilloma was a different strain of virus or if it could be from an allergy

It could very well be caused by the HPV (human papilloma virus) virus, of which there are multiple strains/species. It's not sexually transmitted so don't worry. Try to not touch your eyes, but if you must then always clean your hands well first.
