Hi Everyone. I'm 21 yr old female.
About three years ago I noticed a few bumps down there, had an HPV scare, that wound up not being the issue. So when I went for my annual exam this year, I switched Dr.'s & had mine look at the bumps, there were 5 of them. He said he wasn't sure if they were molluscum or skin tags, but told me not to worry and did not offer any treatment for them.
Of course I went home and googled them, found out they were associated with HIV, so went and had a rapid test done a few weeks after being dx with molluscum or skin tags. The rapid test came out negative, , and i picked off these bumps ( i know your not supposed to.) That was well back in March. Well 2 days ago in the shower I shaved and noticed I was bleeding a lot from one spot. I cleaned it off, and saw one. Now I'm wondering why these haven't gone away yet, everything I see saws 2 years, and it has been well over 2 years.
Do you think these are infact skin tags and not molluscum? they were flesh colored and kind of soft and moveable.
