Does this look like Genital Warts or Vestibular Papillomatosis? ***GRAPHIC PHOTOS***

My bf cheated on me with a woman in Feb who he says is getting tested for HPV. I noticed these finger like tube things on my vulva or inner labia last week. I checked everyday and they weren't there until Wed. or Thurs. of last week. I'm currently awaiting my results from my full panel STD test I took two Saturday's ago. I'm worried they're warts but from what I've seen they don't look like warts. What could they be? They started in a like a circle but now go down in like a line. I have another app. with my doctor tomorrow to take a look at the lesions. I got my period so please be warned, the photos attached are extremely graphic!

      i would start a new thread so that you get more opinions these look like normal VP to me if you are sexually active it never hurts to get tested. are you having any other symptoms?

      No symptoms but severe anxiety! One of them is much larger than the others. I got tested for other STDS a few weeks ago at a walk-in and had her take a quick glance at the bumps which she said were normal but the larger piece is giving me anxiety

      No HPV testing. She said a GW would look just like other warts on your fingers etc. and that she didnt see any on me but she didn't really look in my opening

      yeah it doesnt look like a typical wart to me either but the only way to be 100% sure is to be tested. even the best of doctors are not as reliable as a test!

      you can do the apple cider vinegar test. you take a cotton ball with vinegar on it if it turns white it COULD be a wart its not 100% but thats something you could do at home untill you can get back in for bloodwork.

    Does this look like genital warts?

    Went to urgent care as I had itching and the skin on my bottom vulva was dry and a bit tough. Diagnosed with genital warts. I went to my OB a week later and she said everything was normal. Also the skin is no longer itchy or tough. Please give me your input thank you!

      I have no idea why I was diagnosed with gw... he gave me such a fright. I guess since it looks a bit bumpy but nothing like the pics online of gw. maybe because it was initially itchy is why? but my ob said it was normal... thanks for your input i really appreciate it!
