HPV or some other Vaginal skin 'infection...'

[HiThere44]

Hello, I've been doing a lot of research in terms of bumps being on the vagina and have gotten A LOT of different things, std's to common skin irritations is what I've read, I even posted some question on here before I had read more information.  So, I have 2 bumps on my vagina, I've gotten them for years, since I was 15, I'm now in my very early 20's and I still get these bumps.  There pretty much small, some sometimes a little bigger than others, raised, sometimes look like there 'filled' with some sort of fluid, I can squeeze on them sometimes and blood or something will come out of them.  They don't hurt unless I'm messing with them and the sometimes can itch, say if I'm wearing tight jeans, etc.  They seem to go down (as in get smaller,flatter) after they bleed a little or else they go down (as in get smaller,flatter) with a shower/bath.  I just had sex for the first time 6 months ago, ALWAYS with a condom, so I don't believe there and std, as I said, I had them since I was 15 before I had ANY type of sexual activity, and I mean I hadn't had ANY sexual activity! : P  But, I don't know what they might be.  Of course, now I'm asking could they be HPV?  I mean I DID have them before sex but I just don't know.  Any helpful info please?  Thank you very much...

If you had them before sex, its not an std.

Have you ever shown your doctor?

If you haven't had a gynecological exam yet, its time, anyway.  

I wonder if you have a mild bacterial infection, like staph, and since you've had it this long, you might need an antibiotic to clear up.

I'm wondering though, can genitial warts be 'drained' like I'm able to do with these bumps?  Like I said, if I squeeze them, blood, or pus will come out.  Can warts do that?    Thank you...

Nope.  And if you had these before you had sex, it can't be warts, which is an STD.

Thank you Aj...  so, if you could, what would a wart look like/be 'filled' with then?  It's very confusing b/c I read so many things that say warts are bumps, raised, etc, that could look like what I have but I just don't know!  YES, its true I did have these before sex, but being me, I now worry if I get bumps that ARE warts b/c now I've had sex.  So yeah, what would a wart look like/be 'filled' with, if anything?  Do they look like little filled bumps?  Are they a little sore when touched? Sometimes I just have one, small but itchy bump that doesn't looked 'filled' with anything!  Thank you so much...

Warts aren't filled with anything - they are hard, not fluid filled.

Warts don't typically come and go either.

I'm not sure why you are set on HPV, when you couldn't have had that if you'd never had sex when you first started getting them.

Thank you Aj for answering my questions.  I'm not sure why I'm 'set' on hpv either...  So are they actual bumps or do they look like skin tags, which until my recent research, I didn't know skin tags existed.  The pics that I've researched of genital warts looks like skin tags, what would they look like?  Are [gen. warts] painful?  Do they bleed?  Thank you... again....

[auntiejessi]

No, warts wouldn't bleed - they are solid, not fluid filled.  They don't typically hurt, but they might itch.

Skin tags are just little pieces of skin, and can sometimes easily be mistaken for warts.

Have you made plans to get this checked?
