I have recently noticed in the last 2 months I had small pimples "down there" by my Clint in the opening went to my GYN I showed her she said it could be hpv but to come back I've been on my period almost four weeks I'm assuming because I'm on implanon a contraceptive but the pimples I have aren't in a cauliflower shape it's a small line of raised bumps flesh colored but instead of being parallel it's another small directly under.. so because of the form it could be normal?

Hello,
Such kind of lesions can be a cysts, benign skin growths or genital warts. Molluscum presents as multiple, small, dome-shaped papules, often with a central depression or plug.
Diagnosis of genital warts is usually clinical, made by visual inspection. Genital warts can be confirmed by biopsy but Sometimes we can use an enhancing technique called acetowhitening. This technique involves the application of 5% acetic acid solution to the area of suspicion for about 5-10 minutes. Infected areas will turn white. In women PAP smear is also done. Other than that biopsy of the lesion will help in confirming the diagnosis.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.

I was just diagnosed with genital warts today, and it was a bit of a shock, because they aren't in a cauliflower-shaped like it is usually described to be. They actually don't look much like most of the photos I've seen of genital warts. And mine are in a different area of the vulva, but they're also in a line and flesh-colored. I don't want to freak you out for no reason if it's not HPV, but you might want to make another appointment with your gynecologist to find out for sure and seek treatment if necessary.
