Could I have Genital Warts? - Sexually Transmitted Diseases Message Board

Worried222 · 08-19-2002, 01:01 AM

Last November i was w/ a guy I knew school who had a reputation of fooling around with a lot of girls (very stupid of me). We had oral sex (both of us) and 3 weeks after we were together i found 1 small bump on the outer lips of my vagina. It wasn't itchy and didn't really bug me (only when my underwear rubbed against it the wrong way) and went away w/in the week. Last month It came back but there were 2 of them this time. I talked to my mom about it and the 1st time i thought it might be syphilis but it wasn't canker like or blistery. She said she's gotten them a couple times and it's usually from ingrown hairs which makes sence cuz i shave down there. I'm just wondering if any one has any possible info on whether it could be warts or not (I'm not sure if u can even get them by having oral sex) Your help is extreemly appreciated.

That doesn't sound like genital warts.
If it's even anything, it sounds more like herpes then anything else.
One thing to consider, though, is that there are lots of infections women can get down there. The bumps you have down there could be as simple as a few pimples, which you can get down there, to ingrown hairs or irritation from a soap/razor/type of underwear/etc..
Then again it could be something else.
I would say your best bet is to get it checked out if it persists.
Btw, I just wanted to say it's good you have an open honest relationship with your mother.
And also, don't believe everything you hear at school. That guy may just have a bad rep, some of which may or may not be true.
Hope this helps, and I'm sure everything's fine 'down there'. Take care

When you describe the problem you're having, it sounds like gential herpes, but the thing to remember is that herpes is painful. If there isn't pain, then I seriously doubt you have herpes. But remember: it can be passed via oral sex! You DO NOT have to have intercourse to get genital warts or herpes.
