What does little bumps near the opening of the vag but on the inner flap mean?
Hi, I am 20 years of age. I currently lost my virginity at the end of the summer near the beginning of August. My partner is clean, and we had unprotected sex. I discovered that a few weeks later, I will say 4-5 weeks later, I started to feel a itch. It was no smell, no discharge, everything seemed normal. I checked myself with a mirror, and i saw little tiny bumps located near the opening of my vag on the inner flap. What does this mean? I am fine, no yeast infection or signs of std. Can it be from the friction of the penis entering the vagina?
The only thing I would add is that "cauliflower" is the description for a more advanced infection. The bumps can start a little less obvious, but they often line up along a crevice (between the labia major and minora). If you look at them and the top of the bump is not smooth, this is a good indication of hpv.
Some bumps are more serious than other bumps and definitely require treatment by a doctor. For instance, genital herpes can start out as a small opening that looks like a bug bite. It can turn into an itchy, painful mass that requires special medications to treat. It can turn into a blister, and eventually that blister opens into an ulcer. Bumps that look like cauliflower are often a sign of genital warts. These warts are caused by a type of the human papilloma virus, and they are transmitted through sexual contact. They feel rough when you touch them, and they often spread. Cold treatment therapy is the common treatment for this type of bump. You should probably see your doctor for any bump on the vagina that does not resolve itself within a few days. Even for benign, non-sexually transmitted disease related bumps can evolve into something that requires an antibiotic or further medical attention. If sitting in a bath of warm water doesn't make the bump go away, you should schedule an appointment with your doctor to get it checked out. This is according to what my doctor at Bio tex told me.
