    no. I wanted another opinion. i might also get it swabbed/tested first to make sure that's what it is.

    I don't think it's a genital wart. But this seems to be a genital herpes or hair folliculiti. A swab test may help you diagnose herpes. How long have you performed sex? Do you experience any tingling, itching or burning sensation on the affected skin area?

      I have no itching or burning sensation. I plan on getting a swab test.

      Wait for the result. Herpes often goes with tingling and burning sensations, herpes sores, and painful feeling when urinating. But if you don't experience these symptoms, it could be a folliculitis

    so you went to dermatologist, and they were okay with looking at your private area? just cuz I've been having skin issues in mine but my tests keep coming back clean. so I'm wondering if dermatologist is the next best step.

      well I keep having on and off irritation. have some red spot looking like sores really small on one side of the entrance of my vagina and now what looks maybe like bumps/skin tags on the other side. and none of the doctors know and all my tests have come back clean. and it's been almost 6 months since sexual encounter.

    I wen to the dermatologist today and she cut the bump off so that it could be treated. she thought it might be MC. I should find out the results in a week maybe 2 weeks. I will keep everyone posted as soon as I hear something.

    Sorry for the delay in response. My test results came positive for MC. The dermatologist said i should be ok now that she removed them. Now the only thing that sucks when ever I see a small red bump I think its MC. She also gave me a topical medication to use in case I get anymore. The medication is Retin-A micro(tretinoin).
