I saw some bumps on the inside of my vagina yesterday after taking a shower and drying down there and am going crazy trying to figure out what it is. Ive been researching everything and want to cry knowing that it's either or. I don't know how I would even tell my boyfriend once I'm diagnosed. I have an appointment on Tuesday to get checked. I'm so scared. I included a picture to see if you guys could figure out whether it was Herpes or HPV Warts. Please help me. I'm so scared.

    This is vestibular papillomatosis, or papals. Although it is uncommon, it is normal. Not an STD or STI, and not transmitable at all. You are born with it but they may not appear right away. They cause no harm and will not develop into cancer. Old studies link this to HPV, but they have no relation. Long story short: you are okay, not dying, and you did not get them through sex.

    You can have them removed by a doctor, but they have a chance of growing back.

    This might be genital skin tags, as you have said there is no pain, which most likely means it's genital skin tags, so don't worry much about herpes, still I would recommend speaking to your local doctor.

    it is vestibular papillomatosis. harmless, not infectious cannot be caught or spread by sexual intercourse. because it is harmless there is no treatment, unless you have the capsules removed by costly cosmetic surgery. men get them too, around the head of the penis, called pearly papules.
