Cases were defined as those registered with a minimum of one redeemed prescription of medication for condyloma acuminata or had a diagnosis of condyloma acuminata. Genetic information HLA types and its association with being a case or control was assessed in all participants. Additional research is needed to determine whether protective alleles HLA types can recognize specific proteins made by HPV.

However, as this immune system functions primarily in the dermis, the layer of skin just beneath the epidermis where the wart grows, it may take some time before it discovers the infection and mounts a response that will shed the wart virus and the wart.
Some wart treatments destroy the virus-infected cells. Such treatments include freezing warts with liquid nitrogen cryosurgery or burning them with electric current electrodesiccation or lasers. Unfortunately, if your body hasn't built up immunity to the virus, then any leftover viruses can start another infection and the wart will recur.
In some instances, freezing the wart or irritating it with a salicylic acid treatment found in over-the-counter products such as Compound W releases the virus from the cell and jump-starts the body's immune response.
It begins to react to the virus. Each treatment may act like a booster shot for your immune system. Most people who become infected with HPV do not know they have it.
This is true of both oncogenic and non-oncogenic HPV types. By age 50, at least 4 out of every 5 women will have been infected with HPV at one point in their lives. HPV is also very common in men, and often has no symptoms. Similarly, when high-risk HPV lingers and infects the cells of the vulva, vagina, penis, or anus, it can cause cell changes called precancers.
These cancers are much less common than cervical cancer. Much less is known about how many people with HPV will develop cancer in these areas. Skip directly to site content Skip directly to page options Skip directly to A-Z link.
As well, even if you have a healthy immune system, the virus strikes your epidermis the outer layer of your skin and your immune system may have trouble identifying the infection since it primarily monitors your dermis the layer below the surface.
These treatments are designed to clear away existing warts. But they also play a role in helping your immune system to recognize and destroy the virus in the future. The more we can help your body recognize the HPV causing your plantar warts, the more it can mount a defense against the invasion in the future.
