Hi Dr. Rockoff,
I have a question for you regarding some spots I found on my vulva (3-4) a few months ago. They have been there since December. I initially was paranoid that I had genital warts, and I went to a gynecologist to have them checked out (this would have been pretty unlikely since I have never had intercourse but have had some genital contact). I spoke to a doctor and he thought it might be it but wasn't sure, and gave me some Aldara to take care of it. I used it and it started to go away. I went to get a second opinion from another doctor (my normal doc) and he did not think it was the case. The Aldara or time seemed to make my problem go away and things seemed good. A few weeks later a few spots came back, which I got checked out again by the second doctor. They were round, fleshy, small, and one was white, the rest were flesh colored (they did not look like the outbreaks you will see online). The doctor looked again, and believed that it was not warts because they did not have a "tree-like" appearance. I have had a pap smear, which came out negative.
Do you have any idea what else this could be besides warts? Would it be a good idea for me to get another opinion? Please let me know your thoughts.
Thanks for your help; this site is great!
