A leading dermatologist-researcher Dr. Eggert Stockfleth and his lab in Berlin has demonstrated that HPV 21 can be found in 95% of actinic keratoses (AK) and 100% of squamous cell carcinomas (SCC); less commonly, HPV 5 & 8 have also been associated. The need for immunomodulation using agents such as topical imiquimod (long ago approved for treating HPV) for these lesions makes even more sense now.
