Tiny painful red bumps at vestibule- HPV?

[Mazy99]

I have these very small red bumps around my vestibule. They are just a few of them and they aren't symmetrically distributed. I wouldn't even notice them if they weren't so painful to touch, which makes sex impossible. I have been having this for over a year no non-stop and I have been to several doctors. Their opinions are controversial, the one says "Yes, they are warts. Here is some Aldara cream put it on your vestibule" the other says "Thank God you didn't use Aldara, it could cause you problems and wouldn't have helped at all as these are normal bumps and not warts and warts are not painful". The thing is, they actually hurt and I cant just ignore them and think they are normal. Also I didn't have these bumps before. My questions are can warts be painful to touch, and if these bumps are not warts then what they may be?

if the steroids don't make things better in 2 weeks, return to be seen again.

thanks for your replay Grace! Ye, I'm trying some steroids now but they dont help. I feel really helpless. This will affect my sex life and therefore my general life for sure and I'm just 21.

these don't sound at all like herpes going on.

it's doubtful these are std related too.

I'd pick the gyn you like the most and follow up regularly with them. at this point they should probably do a biopsy of your rash.

"now non-stop* " I mean its chronic and they don't come and go like herpes. Thank you in advance!!!!!
