Is this hpv? - non-offensive pic included

[ughy]

I wonder if anybody can figure out if this looks like hpv or something else. This is a close up pic of my worst area in my inner labia. It is so hard to find pics for women on the internet so i had to post bc it just doesnt look like any pics i have seen.
Thanks

I recently have had this same exact issue as the pic posted. I started googing it yesterday and I found that it is NOT an STD or HPV. It is Vestibular papillea. In some cases it can be blocked Sebaceous glands or signs of Menopause. Good news is its not contageous :) and its normal. Glad I found this out and glad I can help you. Even though its years after your post.

Did it ever go away?? Did yours itch??

I have the exact same problem. I have this for more than a year now and it is so freaking itchy. I went to my GP. My HPV tests are negative & she said it is not genital warts either coz it is so symmetrical. But the itchiness never seems to go away. I am frustated. Did u find my remedy for yours? Did yours itch? When I google it says vulvular pappilomatosis. But it is getting really frusatation. Vagisil from chemist helps with itchiness but not sure if i can use it forever!

Quite often, vulvar vestibulitis goes along with vestibular papillomatosis. This just means you have symptoms from it - itching, burning, pain, etc.

You could also have discovered the VP because you started having VV from another cause, or you developed an allergy to something like laundry detergent, started wearing a new underwear, or using a new body wash/soap - really, anything.

Have they tested you for yeast and bacterial vaginitis? Those would be the first two things to rule out, and try using scent-free everything - detergent, soap/washes, toilet paper/wipes, etc. Wear 100% cotton underwear.

https://www.healthline.com/health/vestibular-papillomatosis#diagnosis - this is also called generalized, unprovoked vulvodynia - https://www.issvd.org/generalized-unprovoked-vulvodynia/

There are treatments you can use. A lot of them are medications, but there are also creams that can help, if you'd prefer to start there over some fairly strong medications with side effects.

Find a gynecologist who is experienced in treating vulvodynia. They can remove the VP, but they can come back, and it may not relieve the vulvodynia.

I wish you the best. Sometimes it's just not easy being female. :(

Hi,

I was just wondering if you found out what they were/are? and what caused them, was it HPV or Vestibular papillae?

I hope you can get back to me :)

Did you ever find out what they are?

Hi there -

We don't look at pics because we can't diagnose.  If you are concerned about HPV, see your doctor.

Check this link out, and look at fordyce spots.  You don't give a description, so I don't know what yours look like, but you might find something here.  WARNING - it has GRAPHIC pics - http://www.chestersexualhealth.co.uk/downloads/Normal%20lumps%20and%20bumps%20TREND%202007%20STIs.pdf
