Could this be HPV?

Back in June I had unprotected sex with this guy. About a week later my labia minora swelled up and I had discharge. I learned I had a yeast infection.

Then I started to notice these tiny stalks on my labia minora like a small amount around 3 or four. I went to my university's health center and she claimed on of the bumps looked warty. She also said if I didn't believe her to schedule an appointment with her coworker. So I did and her coworker thought it was normal and they would go away. Afterwards I met with an actual gyno and he said them to be because of the yeast infection. Once I noticed they did not go away I went to see him again and he looked and said they were skin tags. After I went to planned parenthood they did the vinegar test and the person I met with said they were skin tags. Soon a few weeks after it seemed a few more were starting to appear. So I go to my gyno and then he's like okay now this must be warts. So he cuts one off to do a biopsy and then he says to me how one of the skin tags the last time he looked he wasn't able to tell if it was a skin tag or something else. What do you guys think? Also, I've even had the vaccines. I've just been waiting back for my results but since my gyno is out the office for a month it is taking forever. I've accepted the fact I may have them and want to help my immune system clear the virus.

      Aww but the ones I've had for a while are like kinda long thin stalky like. Idk how to explain it better. But the other things sort of look like fordyce spots but they kinda seem like someday they will form into the other things. But it has been weeks and they haven't grown or anything. But one of the long thin stalky like thing on my labia minora has started to shrunk because a while ago I started to use tea tree oil diluted. I'm not sure it is pretty weird though. Just like the fact that I've had the vaccines for the virus and all of this commotion.

      Oh! I think you’re talking about vestibular papillomatosi, they usually are mistaken and misdiagnosed for genital herpes but aren’t. They are probably that look that up as well.  But I doubt it hpv even if it is. You’re body will fight it off eventually

      Thanks for all your help. I don't think it is that because there aren't like a million on both of the lips on the labia minora. Like one side has the few that I mentioned and the other has just like one. But if it is HPV I really hope my body will fight it off.

      No, not at all. Sometimes I feel a mild discomfort or a tad itchy. Its like sometimes I notice its there. When i'm on my period they tend to get bigger and then go back to its normal size after.
