Hello,
Unfortunately, there is no specific treatment to eradicate HPV infection. Generally, treatment is directed towards the symptoms. If warts are what bother him, they can be removed by cryotherapy, they can be burned or some local cream can be applied locally to help them regress.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Antoneta Zotaj, General & Family Physician
