Those don't really look like warts, and might be nothing to worry about, but they could be lichen sclerosus?? or maybe herpes???, so I think you should get them looked at.
You could either see your GP, or if you're in the UK, you could go to a genitourinary medicine (GUM) clinic - google "GUM clinic near me" for details.
If you could update this thread and tell us what the doctors say, it would be appreciated. Good luck.

Did you get a chance to zoom in? It's 2 small bumps on the outside of my left & right labia .I'm pretty sure they aren't herpes bc I tested negative for herpes back in August at my annual. Also the last time I had sex was in Jan & my partner had just tested negative for everything in December. The reason I think it's HPV warts is bc I had an abnormal pap in August & was diagnosed with LSIL, was also with BV. They couldn't tell me whether or not HPV caused it but I had a colposcopy done & all they said was that I had LSIL. I am due for my annual on 6/6 but that's too long considering idk what these bumps are.

I can't see anything that looks like a wart, so my guess is that it's LSIL (which is also caused by the HPV virus), which may not need any treatment. If your appointment is in 8 days, I'd wait till then and ask them.

Hi! So just to update I did have my dr's visit & I tested negative for everything except chlamydia. My pap also came back normal but I'm pretty sure I have genital warts. My dr didn't say anything about the bumps but they have gotten a little bigger & they clearly look like warts. My question is, if my pap didn't show any abnormalities for HPV can I still have the strain that causes warts?
