I hyave noticed that I have some bumps in the pubic hair area, there are about 6 or 7 bumps, varying in size, all of them dark brown (I'm a light brown person). I has wondering if I in fact have HPV or are just skin tags? Thanks
From the description of your symptoms it sounds like a viral wart.However other possibilities are sebaceous cyst,molluscum contagiosum or herpes sore.
Warts are tumours or growths of the skin caused by infection with Human Papillomavirus (HPV).They are contagious when in contact with the skin of an infected person. It is also possible to get warts from using towels or other objects used by an infected person.
Exactly what it is can be confirmed only after examination and biopsy.Pls consult a dermatologist and get it done.
Hope it helps.Take care and pls do keep me posted on how you are doing or if you have any additional doubts. Kind regards.
I would see your OBGYN. It sounds like warts... Bumps in that area usually suggest warts and HPV is so common that it wouldn't be completely unreasonable. Where are they exactly in the pubic area? Are they like a "tag" or are they just bumps? Multiple bumps in the pubic area would be questionable but if in fact they are warts there are many treatments available, including a cream that can be used at home. You need to be checked by a doctor. Hope this helps you and good luck. Just make sure not to engage in sex until you have medical advice.
