Dear sarah,

Sounds like you’ve developed thrush (candida). The lumps resemble vestibular papillomas; they may have got a little swollen from vulvitis (vulval inflammation) because of the thrush. In which case they will settle down once the thrush clears with treatment. You can buy Canesten cream and a pessary from your local pharmacist/drugstore without needing to see your doctor for a prescription.

I’m also assuming you’ve had your HPV shots, in which case genital warts are an unlikely diagnosis.

If you live in the UK, you should consider ordering an STD self-test kit online.

Rgds,
Adhari
