Hpv treatment

Please make sure that you have read the discussion on the cause of hpv infections (warts and genital warts) and the risks involved with these infections posted on this site.

Since it is nearly impossible to tell whether most people have hpv infections with a high degree of accuracy, then it is obvious that most people who carry HPV will not end up undergoing any treatment because the infection is not detected. For this reason, virtually all HPV transmission to sexual partners goes undetected and, thusly, untreated.

Simple warts are treated by killing both the skin of the wart itself and usually the skin directly beneath the wart. The theory is that the wart is extremely contagious with a high load of HPV virus, and the destruction of the wart is called for. The skin beneath the wart must be destroyed because this is actually the area from which the wart grew. If the skin beneath the wart is not destroyed, then the wart may return.

Often this treatment is curative with no further warts resulting. Also, the destruction of the wart and its underlying skin creates an inflammatory response in the body which seems to assist the body in preventing further wart formation, especially in the area of the wart itself.

Herbal treatments are available, if unproved in the scientific literature.  Mugwort has been shown to be effective in some warts, and it is available without prescription at various vending sites. One such site is www.fonoils.com.

Some encouraging results have been shown using the electrophoresis technique with a silver electrode available at www.dermaseptic.com. Scientific data is sparing on this technique, at this writing.

Other medical treatments are very useful. Salicylic acid preparations are very effective in directly dissolving the wart and have been time-tested for years. Often this acid creates a local inflammation in the area of the wart, creating the immune response mentioned above. Many such wart remedies are available in the marketplace. Other acid preparations are available for use by physicians which are much quicker and stronger, sometimes requiring analgesia for pain relief.

A recent preparation, Aldara, from 3M, contains a chemical called "imiquimod". This chemical is said to stimulate the immune system of the body apparently through the production of "cytokines" that can cause the body to destroy cells infected with the virus. On the average, after about four months of treatment, about sixty per cent of patients overall clear their wart-type lesions. This chemical is not made for internal lesions. It is not indicated for herpes at this time, though a related chemical is being tested for genital herpes.

Electrocautery and laser are very effective in directly destroying both the wart as well as the skin beneath it. Such treatment usually leaves a small hole in the skin, perhaps 2 millimeters or more, in the area where the wart was destroyed. This hole is actually a third-degree burn, and the skin heals "circumferentially", closing in slowly from the area around the burned hole. This therapy is very specific, very quick, and much more expensive than the acid therapy. These treatments often require local, or sometimes even general, anesthesia so that the patient can tolerate the treatment.

Treatment of abnormal cervical tissue, including CIN (mentioned above), is usually carried out by either direct acid treatment of the affected areas, by laser, or by similar instruments which can actually destroy the infected part of the cervix. Such treatment is highly successful and time tested. However, even after such treatments, the patients with CIN must be carefully monitored to make sure that the patient remains free of disease. Else, a cervical cancer may develop even in a patient previously treated for CIN.

Vaccines to treat warts are, at this time, still far into the research future. Hopefully some sort of inoculation will be available which will stimulate the body to eradicate HPV from infected cells. Research is ongoing throughout the world to determine if it is even possible for the immune system of the body to in fact be able to remove HPV DNA from infected cells. Only time will tell. We will continue to actively monitor research to determine when such therapies can be recommended.
