What could this be?
I noticed some bumps growing after I had my son 9 months ago.. They are not around my anus, but about 2 fingers away, I have been with the same person for 3 years and he has never had any bumps or anything. I have never had anal sex!! I went to the doctor and she said they were ingrown follicles, they never went away so I went back and now she is confused as to what they are.. she said they could be HPV!! but they are smoth and shinny, I am freaking out. I have been with my boyfriend 3 years and before that the same guy for 8 years. I had another baby 5 years prior and never had anything like this. Please help me!!

Dr did a biopsy and said its condyloma acuminata I am heart broken. She froze them, will they come back? will they spread.. what about more kids? I am so upset, I feel disgusting. My boyfriend had a finger wart he was treating for a year and she told me that its possible how i got it. Is this true? Or possible. Im so scared.

Hi!
Probably the most likely cause is hpv. Hpv is very common in young women, some estimates are as high as 1 in 6. It can lie dormant for years and then pop up. It can pop up near the anus even though there has never been anal intercourse.
A biopsy would make the definitive diagnosis. Another option would be to try treating with
Aldara ( a prescription medication for home use ) or tca, a topical agent your doctor could apply.
It is also possible that the lesions are not hpv, but that certainly is the most likely cause.
Hope this helps!
