Genital Warts?

[Worried980]

Hi...I have had this bump/lump for about a week now.  I seemed to notice it right after I shaved.  It is on the outer vaginal lip, or I guess that would be the labia.  It is not too big, but certainly seems bigger when I mess with it.  I would say it is skin colored.  It really has no texture to it.  It isn't hard or anything.  When I spread the skin out, the area seems to flatten out, but the center turns kind of white.  I have never had intercourse before, but I have had genital contact around the month of March.  I am so so scared.  I feel like I am constantly paranoid about things, and I've been to the clinic twice now in a span of 3 weeks to get checked out.  This bump came the DAY after I went.  So naturally I am paranoid.  I wouldn't be so hasty, but I have really found the person I want to be with and if it's a wart it will ruin everything.  I noticed a couple hairs growing out of the lump/bump.  I tweezed them though.  And if this is an infected hair follicle is there anything I can do to make it go away faster?  Oh, I also tried the vinegar test and it really didn't change the color of it.

Thanks

Hairs don't grow out of warts.  They are on top of the skin, not within it as your bump seems to be.  What you have, in other words, doesn't sound anything like a wart.  If it is a follicle, which is what it sounds like, then you're best off leaving it alone.  Squeezing (or tweezing) will just make the bump bigger or redder, and won't accomplish anything useful.

If you're still worried, you should have another doctor take a look.  

Take care.

I just wanted to add that I am constantly paranoid about things...I haven't eaten or slept in days, I am so worried.  And howcome everytime I have my worries eased, something else always arises right after it to take it's place?  Also, the bump turns redder when I touch it and mess with it.  Also, when I got checked out the last 3 times within a month the nurse practioners didn't see anything.  But I know warts can come at anytime.  Do you think I should go get checked out again?  Also, where is the most common place warts are likely to occur in females?

You may need some psychological assistance if reassurance doesn't make you feel better.

is it true that when squeezed, genital warts will not emit any puss, oil, material etc?  when i squeezed some bumps-(which have been there for some time now, and are located slightly below the frenelum on the brown line that represents the foreskin scar from circumcision)- some kind of liquid/oil-like substance came out, an even squirted on one occasion, while another time a white string of pus/dead skin cells emerged.  i know that i shouldnt have squeezed it, but i wanted to see if anything would come out.  whats your take?  after thinking about it, i realize that i have "over-soaped" my member for a long time... years.  this may play a part.  papules, sebaceous cysts/glands, fordyce spots?  
just thought it was weird that liquid came out when i squeezed, but now its irritated as all hell, and i even have some scabbing from the iritation.
i'm all ears............ any words would be greatly appreciated.
thankyou
