What this Virus is? HPV is a shell Virus is less embedded in the DNA of cells of the skin and mucous membranes. He is on the surface, without straying into the deep layers of the Dermis.
For months and even years, he is in a state of rest. Due to the reduction of the immunity due to various reasons, the Virus is activated and begins to proliferate. Thus, papillomas arise.
The factors that attributed to a negative effect on the immune system:
- Long-term stress.
