Genital warts?
Ok just recently I noticed white bumps clumped together right at the crack of my lower vulva. At first I thought that it was residue from vaginal secretions but when I tried to wipe if off, it didn't go away. Then I thought maybe it was pockets that caught white stuff in it. But upon closer review it looks like white bumps. Very tiny ones clumped together, and it's not noticeable unless I open the lips. It's not painful, it's not bothersome, not itchy. It doesn't look irritated at all. Still could it be warts? The bumps look like they are under the skin.
One thing I find weird is that a couple years ago I had bad girly problems. But I don't remember noticing these bumps then!! So I'm thinking either I totally missed it before or it's fairly new!!

Ok update. First of all the other bumps were just patches of white stuff. I was able to easily scrap it off. Also I went to see a GYN she thinks it's genital warts. She only saw the initial bump, the white stuff ended up coming off while performing a Pap smear so she didn't see a white patch. She just saw the white bump. She told me that everything else looks like normal tissue but that the white bump looks like a wart and since it's so small she is not going to remove it. I told her that it's slightly smaller than it initially was, and I thought that it looks like it's going away. She told me that since I was itchy before seeing it and since it's going away she's pretty positive that it's a wart. She found it odd though that I only had one, she said that most of the time there are more than one.
So now I've had 2 drs look at it and tell me two different things!!! Neither tested it because it's too small. The second dr said that it's not even a millimeter!
And now it's getting even smaller, and less white, it's actually almost gone, I can barley see it. Although I'm still getting the white patch (that easily comes off ) around that area, when I take off the white patch I almost see nothing.
Has anyone at all had these symptoms??
I feel slightly skeptical Only because the second dr told me that it's ok to have sex, that I won't spread it by having sex. But I read that I shouldn't have sex until it's all gone because I can spread it to other parts of myself. So I almost feel like she is not experienced with GW.
She also told me that HPV might show up on the pap smear, and if it does then it's a confirmation that it's HPV.

Well today I saw two more tiny bumps really close to the initial one. So in just a few days it has spread.
Yeah I mean I want to relax about it... But at the same time I don't want to think it's not then later find out that it is. It's just stressful. But I am feeling a little more relaxed. It would be nice to see an actual medical term for this thing, if it's not a wart you know? Or even hear about someone who has this and was tested to not be a wart.
You could get a second opinion, however you could just be wasting time worrying about it. Just because it looks like warts doesn't mean it is. You should be worrying less after having gone to the doctors :)
Ok I saw a dr at a clinic because i needed an answer. Well the dr thinks it's just basically skin like a skin tag that my body produced because I may have had trama there and my body is healing. Now like I said I was itching and I thought that I may have had a mild yeast infection... But idk I mean I've never heard anyone else having this, I want to believe the dr but I'm still skeptical and I can't stop thinking that it's a wart.
I made an appt with a GYN. So I guess I'll see what they say. But now I'm pretty convinced that it's a wart. I looked at it with a magnified mirror and flashlight... It looks cauliflowered. Couldn't see the detail before because it's so small but the flashlight really made a difference. I'm so sad that this is happening!
I would definitely get yourself looked at. It will put your mind more at rest if you do so because otherwise you will keep googling stuff and never get to the bottom of it.
I'm hoping it's normal. I mean at first I wasn't worried but then I started looking into what it might be, and I freaked out when I read about HPV!
I've noticed the same thing, unfortunetly I don't know what is either/: maybe it's something normal? I never really paid any attention to it til recently so idk that I had this before now. I would also like to know what this is. Just letting you know your not alone with this.
