What are the treatments for HPV?

Expert answer:

The treatments for HPV most common are the use of local use medications, cauterization and surgery, in order to eliminate the cells contaminated by the virus.

Immunomodulatory medications, which act on the body's defense system, may also be useful in some cases.

Treatment depends on the type of virus, location and severity of the lesion.

Each case of HPV should be accompanied by a general practitioner, dermatologist, gynecologist or other specialty.
