HPV Types
Different Types of HPV
HPV isn’t just one condition or one disease. Human Papillomavirus spreads across a wide range of different infection types. The good news is that the most common types are easily treatable, and that many of the least common types tend to be essentially harmless, showing no actually symptoms.
For the purposes of this article, we’ll only focus on the types you need to be concerned about. These include the various HPV types that do show symptoms in the form of warts, and a few types which do not show symptoms, but which can lead to further complications. The fact is that there are a lot of HPV types that you simply don’t have to worry about, so we’ll focus on the more harmful or uncomfortable types which can be prevented, identified, and properly treated.
Common Warts
These are the types we’ve all had, types 2 and 7. They cause warts on the hands and feet, but they’re really not a big deal, they’re just ugly and uncomfortable. Some simple over the counter treatment can usually take care of them.
