HPV?
I noticed some bumps growing after I had my son 9 months ago.. They are not around my anus, but about 2 fingers away, I have been with the same person for 3 years and he has never had any bumps or anything. I have never had anal sex!! I went to the doctor and she said they were ingrown follicles, they never went away so I went back and now she is confused as to what they are.. she said they could be HPV!! but they are smoth and shinny, I am freaking out. I have been with my boyfriend 3 years and before that the same guy for 8 years. I had another baby 5 years prior and never had anything like this. Please help me!!
Dr did a biopsy and it come back condyloma acuminata. Im so confused? And upset. My husband had a finger wart he was treated for over a year and I asked my dr if thats where i could of got it and she said possibly. That its a virus. My husband has never had any symptoms of warts and I never have, I dont understand .. She burnt them and said I need to come back every 5 days.. Im so sad and scared, what about having more kids.. Are they going to come back!! :(

Hello,
From the picture it doesn’t look like warts but diagnosis can be confirmed for warts only after investigations. HPV is one of the most common sexually transmitted diseases. It can be due to having sex with multiple partners or with infected persons. Sometimes there are no symptoms at all of the infection and you cannot know until you do tests to diagnose it.
Many a times only a swab test is not enough to know whether there is active infection or not. Laboratory tests which should be conducted include: culture of the virus, direct fluorescent antibody (DFA) studies to detect virus, skin biopsy, and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to test for presence of viral DNA and antibody test.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your dermatologist. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
