Can I Contract HPV from Sharing Personal Items?

Can i get hpv from sharing clothes , towels or my personal items or objects from someone who has genital warts ?

1 Answer

Answered on 13th June '24

Genital warts are caused by a virus known as HPV. It is impossible to be infected with HPV through the sharing of clothes, towels, or objects of personal hygiene. The most common way for HPV to spread is through skin-to-skin contact, usually during sexual activity. The general symptoms of genital warts are the presence of small, flesh-colored bumps in the genital area. In case you happen to be concerned about HPV then the best thing to do is to talk to a healthcare provider about preventing and treating it.

There is a sudden development of a black coloured lump on my lips . Can you please give me details of this

Male | 52

Several factors can cause black lumps. It's sometimes a self-resolving harmless blood blister that happens when you accidentally bite your lip or something more serious like skin cancer. Anyway, always be alert to the piece of the lump being uncomfortable, bloody, or growing in size. It's better to seek counseling from a physician to be cautious.

Hey doctor im sami and I'm feeling discomfort to touch my penis gland corona there is a sharp pain no any visble rashes and redness and i have fungal infection on jock and stomach near by private area

Male | 27

The feeling of unease, and the excruciating pain in the glans of your penis, however, might be attributed to this too. Moreover, fungi drive them to the irritation and pain path. Beware of the cleanliness of the area and drying, wear only airy clothes, and use the antifungal creams prescribed by doctor as these ways are also extremely effective. It is essential to cure it to be healthy and happy again!

I have a dry skin, for which the doctor had suggested Zydip lotion having Beclometasonen in it. I am using it regularly with body moisturizer. Can i use it regularly or not?

Male | 23

There are various causes of dry skin including weather conditions, age and certain skin disorders. This can lead to symptoms such as itching, redness or rough patches. Beclometasone contained in Zydip lotion works by reducing inflammation as well as itching. The medicine should be applied along with a skin moisturizer although the frequency of use will depend on what your doctor tells you.

Hello, I’m 24 years old and would like to know if I have to be concerned using an aluminum based antiperspirant

Female | 24

It's natural to be anxious over the question of whether aluminum compounds used in antiperspirants are safe for your health. Some are jittery about the information they read which might suggest there is a health issue. However, the majority of studies confirm that there is no such evidence of the relationship between antiperspirants with aluminum and health risks. If you notice any itching, rash, or irritation, try switching to an aluminum-free option.

What medication can I take to cure the infection (itchy rashes on my private part and yansh)?

Male | 20

A rash affecting your intimate­ areas may indicate a yeast or bacte­rial infection. This condition is widespread, so the­re's no need for e­mbarrassment. For treatment, a doctor could re­commend an antifungal cream or antibiotic ointment. Maintain cle­anliness and dryness in the affe­cted region. Wear loose­-fitting garments. Refrain from scratching to expe­dite healing.

I have facial hair growth over both chin and upper lip. Its because of hormonal imbalance my DHEA level is 180. So may i know if laser hair removal will help get rid of this facial hair growth.

Female | 29

Laser hair removal can be an effective way to remove unwanted facial hair. But it is important to discuss any hormonal imbalances with your doctor before beginning a treatment plan. Laser hair removal may not be the best option for you if your DHEA level is high as this could lead to an increased risk of side effects. Your doctor may suggest other options such as oral medications, topical creams, or electrolysis.
