Is this Vestibular Papillomatosis or something else?

Posted , 36 users are following.

I just recently started being sexually active and after examining myself closely I've noticed these bumps?? and I'm not sure what they are. I'm really nervous they might be HPV genital warts. I went to a doctor a couple months ago and she said it could be just irritation from soap I'm using? even though I use natural and fragrance free. I also didn't mention vestibular papillomatosis at my appt. because I didn't find out about it until after. I feel like the bump like things have gotten worse since then too. The only unprotected sex I've had was receiving oral. Can someone please tell me what they think this is? If it is VP, is there a way I can treat it? because I feel like there's just so much and it makes me insecure and embarrassed. Please let me know! Thank you!!!

      Thank you so much, I've never really looked at my vagina close up and decided to today and freaked out! Is it normal for them to cause irritation?

      not usually sometimes vaginal infections like bv and yeast can cause irritation u should see a doctor have some swabs taken to rule out an infection

      So you don't think it's herpes? Maybe a yeast infection ext.

      its 100% not herpes those are skin growths vp and if they are irritated it mabe down to yeast /bv

      Okay, I have my pap smear scheduled in a couple of weeks and I'll talk to my doctor about the irritation, thank you for your knowledgeable input! It's some scary stuff out there and I just wanted to rule out a scary thought!

      I forgot to ask you don't think it's HPV do you? I know Herpes and HPV are two different conditions.
