    Looks like VP to me. Do you have any symptoms? Itching, burning, etc? If so, see your OBGYN. But you can also go to just get a peace of mind. Mine looks similar and I was told its my normal anatomy/VP.

      I noticed it because there was some itching after sex on the 17th and I thought maybe it was another yeast infection (I had one around Thanksgiving but it was taken care of). The itching wasn't super bad but it brought my attention down there. This is how things looked down there on the 17th though image

      and then the 21st

    I'm sure its VP but if its itching or sore see your doctor. Just ignore it otherwise.

    UPDATE:

    went to get a pap and have the bumps looked at today.

    The clinician says they look like a type of HPV. Luckily genital warts is a lower risk type of HPV.

    Things I've learned:

    90% of people who have lower risk HPV do not show symptoms

    There is no actual test for Genital warts, they can only be diagnosed based on appearance. (Paps only show for higher risk HPV)

    the best way to protect against it is through the vaccine.

      Hi Rebecca!

      Did they ever say whether it was contagious? Did your bumps go away?

      Thanks for sharing!

      Yes, they're contagious

      No, they're still there. It could take up to two years for my body to clear the virus but it's not too bad.

      I went to the free clinic and had them take a look at they said it looks like a type of hpv and to monitor it by putting white vinegar on them and any warts present would turn white after five minutes (which they do). The clinician also said it looked like a very mild case and that most people wouldn't have noticed (but I did cause I've been hyperfocus on my genitals since I got and treated chlamydia (
