Is this really genital warts?

Question:

Hi, I just noticed a small (about the size of the lead tip on a pencil) bump on my skin down near my genitals. It looks like it could be a whitehead pimple and its just one of them. No clusters or others located. It isn't on my vagina, but it is on the skin between my thigh and my vagina (not on the vagina, but just on my regular skin). It feels hard. Could this just be an ingrown hair or pimple? I was told this could be a genital wart. But then I was told it couldn't be because its not located on my genitals and you can't get genital warts if they aren't on your genitals. Could somebody clear this up for me? This way I can go to a doctor straight away and ask to get tested for that specific STD. Thank you!

Answers:

There are Bartholin's gland cysts which would be on the inside of your labia; folliculitis (infected hairs) could also cause this. You can go to WebMd.com and type in both of these words and read up on each condition and see if your symptoms match and the treatments recommended there. Neither of these is an STD and needs no testing. It could also be just a pimple or ingrown hair.

It is probably just a small cyst. If it were an ingrown hair or whitehead you could pinch it out.

Have to get a colpscopy. Does it hurt?

Question:

I just got a phone call from my doctor yesterday. She said that I had the test results back from my pap smear and it showed abnormal cells, and it tested positive for HPV. I dont remember which one she said, but it wasn't the genital warts one or anything. She also said I really shouldn't be worring about cancer or anything like that. But she said I do need to come in for a colpscopy to more closley examine the abnormal cells etc. Also that I would need to get the biopsy part done at the same time. I am nervous about this because the first time I go for a gyno visit I have all this happen (im 18.) Can anyone give me more information and advice?

Answers:

Good luck!

That's colposcopy, it is a method used to get a close up look at the cervix, no big deal, if they do a biopsy you will find a sharp pinch and it's over again no big deal but something you definitely need to follow through with. It only takes about 10 minutes.

Good luck!

It usually only takes 20 to 30 minutes for your doctor to complete a colposcopy and biopsy.

HPV advice please...?

Question:

i was told i have HPV the other day. its noncancerous with genital warts. i have a very weak immune system (different medical issue). so i am wondering what long term effects this will have and if/how it will affect a child when i choose to have one? is there any precautions i should take? any advice would be appriciated, i dont know much about this...

Answers:

Best of luck!

Correct usage of latex condoms greatly reduces, but does not eliminate, the risk of catching or spreading HPV. A vaccine can protect against several types of HPV, including some that can cause cancer.

Question:

please answer soon =(

Answers:

why are you saying you think you had it when you just said that you just found out you have it?

Side note: Get tested for all STD's- there is a panel they can give you, either at your doctor or the free clinic. Often times, STD's come in pairs (cute, right?) and there are some that can cause infertility if gone untreated, such as chlamydia.
