i noticed a small bump several weeks ago but thought it was just from an ingrown hair or something and then it got a little larger and...gut feeling is telling me its warts. I did have an hpv positive pap about a year ago but haven't had any signs or symptoms until now. a little part of me wants to die, im so upset. if it is warts, how can i treat such a sensitive spot?!image

    Hey- first of all please dont worry! HPV is the most common STD in the world and also an extremely common non sexual virus. A verruca on your foot or wart on your hand is also HPV! Nothing to be ashamed or worried about. As far as this bump you have- in my opinion it does not typically present like a HPV wart would, however for your peace of mind id recommend you going to see your GP. But remember, if it is HPV- it really is no big deal! Keep us updated.
