Is this genital warts? HPV? or Due to a chronic yeast infection?

I have been having recurrent yeast infections for the past 6-7 months and they found a profuse amount of yeast when doing the swabs. Over the past two months I have finally tested negative for yeast and other STD's but found these small rashes on my vulva and there is itching and throbbing similar to thrush. No treatment is working and i am worried it is hpv . I am really depressed and anxious as this has made me have so much health anxiety since i have been feeling this for half a year now.imageimage

      how can you be so sure? is there anything that differentiates it from vp? if so could you tell me what it is? i have been having recurrent yeast infections so I wasn't sure if it was because of this.

      please let me know if you get tested cuz i have similar issues with my vaginal area! i did get an std test not a pap smear but a coton swab & vaginal exam , I was nervous but the midwife said it was my natural anatomy & i feel like it looks weird to me.. I currently have a new partner i know hes only been with one other woman & when we had sex the condom broke & ive been paranoid and had these "bumps" before i had sex with him! idk if someone can reply itll be great

      hey i will definitely let you know as i am going to see a doctor this week. i have had recurring yeast infections and done all std swabs, urine and blood tests with nothing showing up. first few times yeast cells were found but last month they found a high bacteria(staphylococus epidermidis) count as well. i am starting to think its not really hpv and more of vp since it is linear and symmetrical and the projections are not filliform they are slightly seperated. i also found out that this natural skin topography can be enhanced with vagina fungal infections and its very common. i may not be getting a pap smear but will definetely get the doctor to have a closer look at them to diagnose as they only came about with the yeast infections. hope this is helpful.

      I also have look like yours, and VP is cause by HPV too, I had tested in STD test before and I was negative in all test but I was infected in candida which is yeast infection too, then to be so sure I went to my doctor and she told me I have warts due to HPV

      VP is not caused by HPV that is completely wrong. VP is a normal change of the body but HPV which leads to warts is caused by a virus.
