Warts don't appear as red bumps of this sort, and generally don't show up a year after exposure. Sounds like another pimple or folliculitis (hair follicle infection, including ingrown hair). No matter what the cause, a reddened appearance during healing is normal. Visit a health care provider if you remain concerned, but clearly this isn't a wart or any other STD.

Ok so how long should i wait until i should be worried and should i try a cortizon cream..
I recently noticed two things on my labia: a small, flat raised spot that looks like a freckle (I'm African-American with a sort of fair complexion, and I have numerous freckles/moles/"beauty marks" on my body and face), and a very small flesh-colored bump (i.e. unless you're me, who regularly inspects that area, or a doctor I specifically told to look at it, you wouldn't notice it - if I had pubic hair, I definitely wouldn't have seen it). The bump is sort of at the top of my vulva where the two lips meet. Two things to note: I shaved off my pubic hair twice, the last time about a week ago, and I had unprotected sex with my ex-boyfriend about ten days ago. We have had unprotected sex before (we were together two and a half years) and all my STD tests and Pap smears have been normal. No itching, burning during urination, or irritation (except a little redness around the bikini line from the shaving). I'm a regular blood donor and have never had a problem with my blood. So is it possible that the freckle and bump are HPV symptoms? Should I be concerned?
this is my first pregnacy and i went in for a pap and the test came back that i had chlamydia, i got antibiotic for it. i also had group b strep and got treatment for that. since then i have not had sex with anyone and everything was clear. i think now i have a yeast infection. im very itchy and irratted. i soon developed some bumps down there on the lips and near the anal area. the bumps are skin color and i tried to pop or scrap them off and they just hurt and bleed. one of them actually came off at one point after i went to the bathroom and wiped. could the bumps be part of the yeast infection? i am worried becuse if they were an std then my pap would have seen it right? i also got a call from my dr and i have to go in for a level two sono cuz my blood test came back for a red flag that my baby might have edwards syndrome. were she has an extra chromosome and will be mentally handicapp. i am really worried my next appt isnt til the 21 of august. can some one please give me some feed back on this. thankx
