There is no evidence directly linking HPV (human papillomavirus) to Bell's palsy, a condition that causes sudden weakness or paralysis of the muscles on one side of the face. Bell's palsy is commonly associated with viral infections such as herpes simplex virus (HSV) and varicella-zoster virus (the cause of chickenpox and shingles). HPV primarily affects the skin and mucous membranes, causing warts or leading to cancers, but it has not been established as a cause of Bell's palsy. The exact cause of Bell's palsy is often unknown, though viral inflammation is considered a likely factor.

Can shingles vaccine cause bell's palsy?
Yes, but only indirectly so. The herpes simplex virus (HSV 1) does not cause Bell's Palsy, but it can indirectly cause an inflammation to the Facial Nerve (cranial nerve VII). This inflammation is what then causes Bell's Palsy. The nerve is unable to control the facial muscles it is supposed to control. The herpes virus is the one most often cited as the cause of the inflammation that results in BP. The Herpes Zoster virus (chickenpox and shingles) and BP is another frequent combination and is known as Ramsey-Hunt Syndrome.
