Genital Warts?

I recently noticed a few very small skin coloured bumps on my bikini line. They are barely noticeable as they are quite small but what caught my attention was they were shiny. I have received my Gardasil vaccine that protects you from 90% of all genital wart strains but now I am wondering if I am very unlucky and became infected with a strain that is not covered. These photos do not accurately show how shiny they are btw! I am getting checked on Monday and they told me to not shave as it could remove the tiny bumps!

    Super hard to see in these photos. I dont think it looks like warts appearing. It could be nothing, or it could be Molluscum contagiosum, which you can get an a good image to compare with...

      I appreciate the response! In my opinion they look very similar to this photo which are genital warts. So frustrating as I do not sleep around and I recieved the vaccine....but thats just how life goes!!

      I can also see the resemblance to molluscum contagiosum in some photos as well!

    Update: I got them checked out and the doctor assured me they were normal! she said most likelly blocked sweat ducts. With my anxiety I have a hard time believing that but I gotta let it go!

    Remember skin down there is not meant to be perfect!
