Vestibular papillomatosis

I have an appointment at a sexual health clinic in a few days time. I have recently suffered from persistent and constant candida infections or at least thats what i thought it was.

Not terribly itchy but i do have a low immune system as I had glandular fever not so long ago.

About 2 days ago I noticed a linear clump of weird villi/finger-like projections on the labia minora near the vaginal opening. They have never caused me any issues previously but I have experienced pain during intercourse so maybe there is a possibility that this is the cause? I dont suppose it is HPV as i have had the vaccination which supposedly protects against genital warts too. Ive had discharge that is attributed to thrush for quite a few months on and off, always dries as a off white crust. (Sorry if this too much information, it is pretty gross)

I read online that it may be Vestibular papillomatosis (hope my spelling is correct) but i also read that this is uncommon?? I have a nongraphic photo of the bumps/projections if that helps but really im just looking to see if anybody has had a similar experience!

Many thanks

    I think I have Vestibular Papillae, but I am not sure since a little less than two years ago I had some white and kind of read spots in my vagina, I had gotten yeast infection pill to try and treat it some of it went away but not all then I didn’t worry about it then I started getting white discharge since the summer of 2017 and didn’t think much of it but for the last months of 2017 I took two yeast infection pills again and didn’t really help. But now around a month or two ago all of a sudden I had gotten a sort of like looking skin tag my skin that sorta looks like an inflated ballon so I had scheduled an app with a doc but last night I had revived bumps inside my vagina that look just like your picture I have no idea what it was until I did some research and I thought it might be that because I’m only 16 and I’ve never had any sort of sex, so their is no way that’s it Hpv but looks like it, so I’ve been worrying because I don’t know what it could be.

    I'm thankful for this discussion along with some others I found because I just had a scare with this condition this past weekend and was diagnosed with VP today and am incredibly happy I knew about it before my appointment.

    Long story short, I had a guy take the condom off during sex and compromised my health. I have horrible anxiety already so this set me off. It's been a month and a half and I'm still freaked out by it. I discovered these weird bumps inside of my vagina a few days ago and panicked. I had two different doctors look at me since and the one today told me it's definitely VP and not to worry. The first one told me it looked normal as well but didn't mention VP.

    It's been pretty traumatizing going through this with that pos human being who scared the s**t out of me after pulling the no condom thing when I made it clear I wanted to use one, but I finally feel better. These discussions helped tremendously though going into m DR appt knowing about the condition beforehand.
