not sure what this is, its been there a few days. I dont see any pus or anything but I am super paranoid about it! its been 9 weeks since I slept with a new partner and was told I needed to wait 3 months for the herpes test!
i dont think this looks like herpes but im not a doctor. is it sore itchy?
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.

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.
the one bump was sore when i wiped but no longer hurts. i keep getting yeast infections for whatever reason and the last 2 times i have been in that was the issue but i have been paranoid going on 9 weeks now! i will have to call them today and see if i can go in.
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
i am too old for the HPV vaccine which is unfortunate… i have tried getting better photos but that has not been easy! at this time i feel like i have yet another yeast infection. 3rd since june… the first 2 the dr diagnosed this time i just used my refill. i will have to call them today!
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!
