Inflammation of gums

Question

Asked for Male, 18 Years

Hey Doc, hope you're having a good day! My name is Vincent and I'm eighteen years old. Two years ago I noticed this inflammation on my gums and had to check it up. The doctor said I had HPV. I looked up what HPV is and learned it's a sexually transmitted disease I think; but I've never had intercourse. I had surgery and a portion of my gums were removed. It's coming back again and it's consuming my teeth. I brush but it doesnt bleed like before. Should it be operated or should I just take meds?
