Is this anal warts/condyloma or something else?

I have two pictures that you can view in my profile (needless to say, they are graphic). I have no idea what is going on, but I have some hard bumps and a bigger, white growth on my anus. I have looked online at condyloma pictures, but all of the cases are very extreme so it is hard to make a diagnosis.

A little about myself: I've been in a committed, heterosexual relationship for a year. I have never had anal sex and have had limited partners in my life. I have never engaged in homosexual activity. I do not have symptoms anywhere else on my body.

Looking at the pictures, what does it look like?

Thanks for your help

They do indeed look like warts, but I am not a doctor and you should def. get checked out by an M.D.  You don't have to have anal sex to get anal warts.  The hpv virus can manifest in any area of the genital region, including the anus.  Good luck and I hope this helps

Posting pictures is discouraged. Most doctors are uncomfortable giving an opinion based on an online photo. The people who post here are not doctors. Our opinion shouldn't be seen as valuable.

See a doctor.

Those look very much like warts. The perianal warts i had looked similar.
You need to go to a dermatologist for treatment where they will usually use cryotherapy or apply a topical solution to treat them.


You should see your derm/doctor to be sure. But you do not nessacarily have to have anal sex to get them down there, because once your genitals are infected with HPV, you can autoinnoculate yourself in other areas.
