Bumps:Warts: HPV? Not an STD?
All right, so this may take a bit of explaining to bear with me...
I recently got tested for the whole gamut of STD's, got my HPV vaccine, and am generally a champion of healthy sex, and personal care. I know all about HPV, and I am aware of what a genital wart looks like.
A day and a half after my Doctor had called me and told me I was as clean as a whistle, I noticed a little bump on my genitals. Sure that this was nothing, and knowing that the genital tissue, like that of the mouth, is of the most resilient skin of the body, I decided I would actually 'scratched' the damn thing off. It went away for about a day, but after the healing progressed, the area actually got larger, and the color turned pinker. I stupidly did this again, and to the same result. It is hard. It doesn't look like a boil. I made this little mystery spot look like a wart, and now I an wondering if it is just that.
I can recall a time pre-sex where I had little dots and things surrounding the labia, and my mother had assured me that this was normal, and this was similar to her own biology.
Could my doctor have missed something? Or has my own viginal excavation left me with an awkward little lump full of fluid?
I want to go back to my healthcare provider, but I am worried that in his missing this, it might indicate his diagnosis might not be up to par. He is a little blasé about just about everything.
What do you think? A great dept of gratitude would go to an 'expert' answering this subject.
