David, thanks for the additional information. I've made notes regarding the drugs and creams you have mentioned. It is sincerely appreciated.
I just found out that I have NOT been tested for HPV. My ENT did not think it was associated with MEC. Should I press for an HPV test? From what I've read, a positive result does not change the treatment, but can mean a slightly better prognosis. Do you agree?

Got the dentist covered, that is really where all this started.


Thanks and be well,

Len
