Genital warts of Moscullum?

[satc681]

I have been sexually active only with my boyfriend of 7 years - he told me that I was his first but I'm not sure if I ever believed him. We have always used condoms, with the exception of 2 times (about 4 years ago).

I noticed one bump on my labia majora about 1 1/2 years ago. The bump was skin colour, itchy, and recently I have noticed that it has a tiny indent in the centre. It has never spread anywhere on my body, and I don't think it has spread to my partner (well at least he has not told me anything when I have asked him). The bump is even more itchy once I start to itch it.

I went to a doctor in the past year, and she told me that it could be anything. She did an STD test on me and a Pap test but I never heard back from the doctor, I assumed this meant it was clean, although I probably should have called back.

The one bump is still there and is still itchy, it has not changed from the first time I noticed it.

I am wondering if I should see a dermatologist instead of my regular doctor?

Could this be moscullum? I have just recently discovered this on the internet and it sounds more like my symptoms, as opposed to genital warts.

Any help/insight is appreciated.

Thanks Vanessa for responding with helpful information.

What is the difference in appearance/symptom between molluscum and genital warts?

Hi.

This bump has been present for years and it has not changed its appearance more so spread to other parts of the body. The way you have described the bump seems to increase the likelihood that this is molluscum.

You seek consult with a dermatologist .If this is molluscum then this may be readily removed through  topical medication or cautery.

Molluscum is skin colored and has an umbilicated center. When picked on the center,it  may exude a white sticky material. It is best that you have this assessed early on. If this is molluscum, this is likely to be contagious .Itchiness may lead to scratching which may only initiate its spread.
