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!!

They might just be clogged pores. Do they leak fluid when you squeeze them? If they do, genital warts don't leak any fluid at all.
Well the weird thing is, when I first tried cleaning it, i got thick white stuff off of it, but that tiny area was still white.
Maybe you have thrush? And the pimples are from irritation caused by the discharge. I would def go to the gyno and get it checked out. Most of the time they can give you the results the same day.
Yeah when I noticed it, I thought that I had a mild case of thrush I had some classic symptoms and that's how I noticed the darn thing in the first place. But the symptoms have gone away, idk I made an appt. with a gyn for July 28. Soooo hopefully I get some answers!
Well I'm pretty convinced that it's a wart. I looked though a magnified mirror and a flashlight. It's califlowered. Ugh I can't believe this is happening!! Now I need to know if I can spead it around to different parts of myself if I have sex? I'll be making sure to use a condom to protect my partner from further exposure.
Condoms provide 50% protection at best. They don't cover the base of the penis, scrotum, thighs, butt, etc. If you do have a genital wart, please do NOT have sex. Get it removed and wait a few months of no warts to have sex again. A wart means you are infectious now and that condom is 50/50 for your partner. You should be concerned with getting healthy and wart removal is priroity one. Sex can wait until you have recovered your health and are not infectious. If you do have sex with a wart, please inform your next partner as they deserve to know they will probably get what you have if they don't already have the same strain.
I think about 80% of the population has a form of HPV. Most don't even know it. I know exactly how you feel, it's been a year since I was diagnosed and I still have anxiety over it. The good news is that most people's immune system fight it into domacy in 1 to 2 years. You might not even get any more than that small cluster.
I feel terrible because I've had it for at least a month. I thought that it was just stuff stuck in a pocket of some sort. I never even thought about HPV until I started researching what it might be when it didn't go away. Like I said before my partner and I have been with only Eachother for 6 years so we usually don't use protection. So I've probably already have infected him. So far I told him that something is wrong, I even tried showing him, but I guess I'm the only one who can see it. It is quite tiny.
Hpv may not show up for years. It doesn't mean either one of you has been unfaithful. Everything will be ok, just stay positive and start to eat very healthy if you don't already. Also I read increasing folic acid will strengthen your immune system which will help keep the virus dormant. Vitamins are a plus too as well as drinking a lot of water. My husband wasn't very happy about my diagnoses but he's learned to accept it.
Thank you! I will start taking folic acid. I use to take it but stopped. I might need to drink some St. John's wort as well for this anxiety and obsessive feeling in having over this. It helped me when I thought I had hsv2, it turned out to be a cycle of BV and yeast and when that finally cleared up I thought that I was finally free. At least it's not physically irritating me, it's just there.
You're welcome! I think the anxiety is the worst part about this. Mine never irritated me either. If you get them removed while they're still small, the results are better and usually they don't come back.. atleast in my situation they didn't.
Ok so I went to see a dr at a clinic and the dr thinks it's a skin tag developed by my body because of some kind of trama to that area. Now I did have itching around the whole vulva a couple of weeks ago I figured that it was a mild case of a yeast infection and that's when I initially saw the thing. But idk I'm still not convinced. I'll have to see what the GYN says. It is pretty small and I don't want to over react I'm so confused. I mean yeah I really don't want it to be a wart.
And now I found two more tiny bumps very close to the initial one!! I feel like trying to reschedule my appt earlier. Ugh I want to believe the dr I saw but the signs are telling me it's a wart abs it's spreading
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.

Some pap smear tests do not show HPV present even though they are there. This is because they are at such low levels that the test cannot detect them. But you are supposed to try to get tested and there is no reason not to! Men cannot be tested and we envy women for this.
Yes, do not have sex with active warts, no matter the size. That doctor is nuts for saying that you can. No sex will allow your body to recover faster and also not infect others. Go at least 3-6 months of no warts before having sex. Some women wait a year until they get a negative test result.
