so basically i got these bumps about 5 days ago , i had 2 first one on each side and then one of them i think got irritated after i shaved again. but now that hair is starting to grow back i notice the hair growing on top of it . do genital warts do that?? or is this just from shaving!
please answer !!
do you have more photos you could upload in the comments? are you sexually active? is there any itching or pain? this could just be irritation from shaving, ingrown hairs or pimples. but they could also be herpes blisters since theyre clustered and look fluid filled...i would make a trip to your local clinic and have them swabbed just to be sure. keep an eye on them and in the mean time i wouldnt shave again.
just regular type of itching , nothing out of the ordinary . theres no pain really . could herpes take several months to show ? i havent had a new sexual parter for about 7-9 months now . the guy im with didnt fuck anybody else thats for sure .
https://patient.info/forums/discuss/does-this-look-like-genital-warts-i-m-scared--684766?page=0#3403878 you can see another picture here , the 2 on the left have basically disappeared
you could have the virus for years with no outbreak. Looking at the first photo it looks like hair is growing around it. to me it looks more like a pimple or ingrown hairs than herpes, especially if youre not experiencing any pain. herpes sores can be very painful. sometimes i get pimples after shaving, but just to make sure i would have the clinic swab them since the bumps do look fluid filled and clustered.
heres a picture from today , i dont know if its getting better or worse . im really hoping its not anything . are there any other symptoms that i shohld look for
just a bit of an update, went to a clinic the doctor said hes 99% its an folliculitos but i asksd him to swab it anyway! can never be too sure
it looks just like folliculitos / ingrown or pimple from just shaving cause by irratation
sounds about right! good luck lady!! ☺
update us your results , so happy its looking good for you !!
everything came back negative
yay ❤
did you ever find out what this was? i have the same thing and my doctors have been all over the place with their diagnosis. mine also have hair growing from them, and warts generally do not, so i just wanted to know if you ever found out.
Hi Nata,
I can't see enough of the lesions to be 100% certain but it looks suspiciously like molluscum contagiosum (MC).
MC is a viral skin condition that can be sexually transmitted. It's quite common, maybe not as common as genital warts, but totally benign in nature. If the diagnosis is correct, you should avoid shaving or scratching the area as you risk spreading the infection to other parts of your skin. Trimming with scissors or clippers is OK.
If you can, please make an appointment with your local GU/sexual health clinic so that the diagnosis can be confirmed and for a full sexual health screen. Treatment for MC is usually cryotherapy with liquid nitrogen, but you should ask the clinic for podophyllotoxin cream, which you can self-medicate with during the lockdown. The cream is usually used to treat genital warts, but is also effective against MC.
Hope this helps, Adhari
what is everything? did you do a biopsy?
