Brian,
I should have made clear that HPV was listed as ONE possible cause of skin cancer.
Sun exposure, therapeutic rad, chemical toxins, immunosuppressant drug, etc. are also listed.

Does that mean that HPV can be systemic and manifest as skin cancer? I have never read that and will look into it further.

Lostpassword, It does help to hear from others - thank you.
