Hi deborah,
They could be genital warts. Are you quite sure you've never noticed something like this before? I ask because the alternative diagnosis is (normal) prominent sebaceous glands. I'm not sure why your doctor is asking you to wait for 3 months to get tested for herpes- they could simply take a herpes DNA swab from the bumps now. But in any case, I think herpes is unlikely.

i have had a bump like the bigger one before. i wasnt sure if it was an ingrown hair. i dont study it much so the others i am not so sure. Last time i went in there were nothing they could swab so i guess it makes sense to call them now that there is

your doctor should be able to test the bump via a swab test right now. its actually more accurate when there is a lesion or a bump to swab. this doesnt look or sound like a typical herpes outbreak
have you had your HPV vaccine?
do you have a clearer upclose.photo?
are you having any pain, itching, or discharge?
i see that you shave i would advise to not shave and throw out your old razor to prevent spreading or causing an infection
you can try applying a warm compress to the bump to see if it comes to a head. if it does this could indicate that its an ingrown hair or pimple.

I went back in to the clinic today and did a full std panel minus hsv2, they still wont do it for 3 more weeks! the dr said the bump is a sebaceous cyst and normal, no testing needed but for the 3rd time in 2 months came back positive for a yeast infection but this time they found BV as well... no break for this vagina!
