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

Posted , 295 users are following.

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!

      the lumpy growth in the first photo would need to be looked at by a doctor as it seems to be outside the vagina rather than around under the labia minora

      vp only grows in the vestibule which is the inside of the vaginal around the opening and under the labia minora it dosnt grow on the outside of the vagina

    hello, what do you say? looks like vp or hpv? I've been to two doctors and they told me it's not hpv, but they didn't say what it could be, they just said that this region has too much fat and changes can happen, but the last doctor gave me an acid to remove those skins! I managed to pull out, but are starting to look the same in the same region. What do you think?imageimageimage

    warts need to be removed by a doctor even if the wart is removed u still have hpv it takes about 2 years sometimes longer for your immune system to rid itself of low risk hpv and even when u have had the warts removed they can still grow back within the first six months to a year after they are spread by skin to skin contact

      warts are an std they are spread via skin to skin contact its better to have them looked at to be on the safe side
