Hello,
The strain of HPV virus causing cancers is different from the strain causing visible warts and hence you should not worry about it. Usually HPV causes warts in pelvic area and genitals. Sometimes it can cause throat infection known as recurrent respiratory pappilomatosis or RRP. It can also cause cervical, anal, vulval, oral cancers but the strains of HPV causing cancers are high risk strains.

It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your dermatologist. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.

Whatever. I always froze or burned mine off. I wanted immediate results.  With that method though you tend to worry that the marks will leave scars.  They don't though.

Yes, I'm not sure what other people with warts do, but for me when I had them, I went to the doctor immediately upon finding another outbreak to have them removed.  After a year of doing this every couple/few months I no longer had any more outbreaks.  My total time spent worrying/dealing about HPV (including the six month chill period while you see if you'll have any more outbreaks) was one and half years.

type 6 and 11 have warts as symptoms. Other types like 16, 18 can cause cancer. So yes they are different. What I wanted to add is that ''maybe'' they will leave in 2 years time, but if not then u will have to go to your doctor frequently.

Yes, this is true.  HPV warts cause warts only and they go away in time.  You'll be wart free with no more break outs within two years.  Most likely one year.
