No, warts cannot appear in a day. As to what to look for, there are many websites with photos; just google "genital warts", "genital wart photos", or terms like that. Many of the sites also have photos of various conditions, including normal genital skin, that sometimes are mistaken for warts.
But I advise that you completly stop examining your genitals, except maybe for a brief glance every few weeks. Experts have examined your genital skin and found nothing wrong. That means that anything and everything you can see on your labia, vulva, etc is normal. And if you look at genital wart photos, you'll see that you have nothing like they look.
That's all I'll have to say. Good luck.
Thank you for your reply, and I figured that you like everyone else would think it's crazy. But warts can appear in a day can they not? I just don't understand what exactly I should be looking for... which is what I really wanted to get at with you. The being symmetrical or not, visible when the skin isn't stretched, rough or smooth? all of those factors. I have a therapist but that helps only temporarily. I guess I shouldn't expect another response, thank you anyway
Welcome to the forum. But unfortunately, I cannot help. You had a prolonged discussion that lasted over a month on the HPV community forum; and you have seen at least 2 doctors (or is it three?), one of them a gynecologist who has examined you at least 4 times. Now you're asking a distant source to come up with a clear diagnosis merely on the basis of your verbal description. Impossible. Your doctors have tried very hard to convince you, several times, that you don't have genital warts. Since they have examined you and they believe you do not have warts, that also is my conclusion. My guess is you are simply examining your genitals too closely and, owing to your obviously heightened anxiety, noticing normal variations in the tissues that are not abnormal.
You're going to have to start acting like a grown-up, paying attention to your gynecologist's advice, and stop worrying so much about all this. You may benefit from professional mental health care, which I suggest out of compassion, not criticism.
Sorry I can't be more helptul. Unlike the community forum, there won't be a prolonged discussion on this one. I won't have any other comments or advice for you.
Good luck-- HHH, MD
