Mysterious Bump
by carrieadmin, Aug 24, 2008 02:06AM
I found a mysterious little bump on the opening of my vagina a month ago. It is hard and skin-colored and looks similar to a pimple. It doesn't hurt at all.
I thought maybe it was a genital wart and that I had contracted HPV, but when I went to the doctor she said it was likely that it had always been there and I never noticed and my pap smear/HPV results came back normal (meaning I don't have HPV). I also have had the first shot of the Gardasil vaccine.
Well now this bump has grown slightly and from what I can gather on the internet genital warts are caused by HPV. So if I don't have HPV, what is this bump?

The gardasil vaccine isn't fully effective until after the 3rd shot. It's not going to help a previously acquired hpv infection either.
If the bump is growing then you need to return to your provider or go see a different one for a 2nd opinion.
