    You have two options here; VP or HPV. While it is common to freak out and assume the worst, only testing can truly tell you what you have. Vestibular Papillomatosis is normal anotomy of a woman, and is classified as linear nodules within the vulva. These can occur over time, go away, grow bigger or shrink, and even change shape due to which point you are at in your menstrual/ovulation cycle due to the increase or decrease of hormones. These VP bumps can also cause irritation and itching, but are not contagious. Many other HealthCare Providers and ignorant people often misdiagnose these as genital warts, due to the fact that they don't know that VP even exists, therefore, do not have the factual evidence to diagnose properly. Whilst you cannot diagnose VP against HPV just by physical examination, you can get tested with a panel test to rule out all types of sexually transmitted infections and diseases, just to be safe. Best of luck to you.
