Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Zhao Xiaodong
After being infected with the HPV virus, patients should develop a personalized treatment plan under the guidance of a doctor. 1. Keratolytic agents can help improve keratotic skin lesions and relieve surface symptoms. 2. Topical immunomodulatory drugs can effectively enhance the body's antiviral capacity, addressing the problem at its root. If the above methods prove ineffective, surgical excision may be considered, especially for patients with malignant transformation; in such cases, wide excision or lymph node dissection offers a more thorough treatment approach. Throughout the treatment process, patients should maintain a positive and optimistic mindset and work closely with their doctors to combat the HPV virus together. With scientific treatment and careful care, patients can overcome the disease and regain their health.
