Papillomas are raised skin bumps (i.e., elevation on the skin), that often look like a dome or blamish.
They are generally benign screen protrusions, sometimes appear as thin finger-like or papillary structures.
Majority of papillomas are caused by human papillomavirus (HPV). HPV looks like a bucky ball with 72 pentagonal 'patches' and comes in many varieties.
About 10% population has HPV infection (11-12% as per studies).
Non-viral, harmless skin tags ('acrochordons') occur in about half the people (at 46%); but they are more common among older population & often spread through skin-to-skin contact.
Genital warts are rare (0.1 - 0.2% in developing countries) & mainly occur in teenagers and young adults of both genders.
Over 175 varieties of HPV has been reported.
Types 6, 7 and 11 are most common but low risk and often spread through skin or sexual contact.
Almost all genital warts have one of this HPV variety.
Most infections are among children and young adults.
HPV vaccine is recommended for boys and girls at the age of 9 to 12 years.
The 9-valent vaccine protects against HPV subtypes 6, 11, 16, 18, 31, 33, 45, 52, and 58.
HPV is known to cause at least six different kinds of cancers including cervical and anal cancers.
