Embarrassing question for someone who has already gave birth before.

This is very embarrassing but I am worried. My doctor office is not open until monday so I cannot call. I gave birth 11 days ago and I have noticed I have 3 wart like bumps down there. They do not hurt itch or anything like that, they are just there. I know I do not have any sexual diseases because I have been checked multiple times during my pregnancy. And have not had any sexual encounters since I gave birth. Is this just something that happens or what???? Super freaked out about this!

Went to the doctor and she wasn't quite sure what it was all she could say is that they were not infected. I am waiting until my 4 week visit to see if that have went away by then if not she is going to remove one and send it off

You could have HPV. A lot of women have it and never know it because they show no symptoms. It can lie dormant and certain things make it "flare up". Pregnancy is one of those things. I know you said you tested negative for STD's but HPV is one of those things where you can test negative one time and the next then test positive. It all depends what your body is going through at the time of being tested. Personally, I had one pap years ago that came back abnormal and that's how I found out I had it. I was smoker at the time and smoking is one of those things that makes it "flare up" I quit smoking and started taking better care of myself and haven't had an abnormal pap since. It went back to being dormant. Call the doctor on tomorrow and get a diagnosis from them.

I just shaved about 3 days ago but it seems like I have a skin tag. I've never had one anywhere but I was worried until I saw this post. It's not something to worry about then? I just got retested for any stds and I'm still clean as well.

Chances are it's nothing to worry about. As above, your body just went through a lot and reacts strangely. I had a friend who broke out in moles and skin tags her second pregnancy. She felt so insecure, but after delivery they all went away! It could just be a hormonal thing.

They are also not like pimples. More like skin tags. Very strange.

I have not shaved because I had stitches and am scared to shave for a little bit longer.

I wouldn't stress. Your body went through a lot! You could just be breaking out with some pimples. Just call Monday and talk to your nurse if your concerned.
