I need help

Okay, so I'm a sixteen year old girl and I'm not sexually active, but recently I noticed I have sort of cauliflower like bumps in my vaginal area. I had a yeast infection recently and these bumps started apearing. They're totally painless and I guess you could say its like a rash and now its started spreading a bit. I've been concerned about it for a while, but now that I'm doing my health unit at school and they're talking about all these diseases im freakin out. I would appreciate anyone's input, thanks.

Get them checked out. They sound like warts. Sometimes they are sensitive to a paste of aspirin, which kills them, but that is only one variety. You need an in-person evaluationj.

Hi,

The best thing to do is to be checked out by a doctor; a doctor is the only person who could properly diagnose the bumps.  If there is a nurse on duty at your school, you can always speak to the nurse in private about this. Try to stay calm, and keep in mind that not all bumps are caused by disease.  Even if you are not or never have been sexually active, sometimes bumps appear around the vagina and vulva due to pimples, ingrown hairs, clogged glands, cysts and so on.  To help put your mind at ease, speak with a medical professional about concerns with the bumps, soon...

Good Luck

I know its smartest to go to the doctor I just hate my doctor since he's sort of a creepy old man and I just hate the doctor in general. I know its best to go there but I really don't t want, which I know is stupid I just would like to avoid going to the doctor us much as I can. Also, thanks for your comment it made me feel a little better.
