Dear d,

I agree- vestibular papillomas. Check the other side and you should see something similar.

And if you’ve already been HPV-vaccinated with Gardasil, there’s very little chance they could be genital warts.

thank you adhari,
i have what looks like smaller ones on the other side? i may be going to the dr soon but this defentily helps give me peace of mind. somewhat. lol (sorry for spelling errors). thank you for the feedback

one more question that idk if anyone here will know: does something trigger vp because i dont remember always having it.

Dear d,

You asked why it’s developed now? The answer is it’s always been there; you just weren’t aware of it until now. I’m guessing you’re a teenager (you mentioned about your mum taking you to see a doctor)?

VP becomes more prominent during adolescence and is a secondary sexual characteristic like breast enlargement, pubic hair growth, periods, etc. It’s quite normal to regard them as a sign of sexual maturity.

i also have these which i know ive had for longer. im thinking they are more of the same (along with fordyce spots) or if i should be more worried again, ive had my hpv vaccine and i know ive had these for atleast a few months.
