i am myra and i am 18 i had unprotected sex last year in august and this january i started getting these whitish looking bumps along my pantyline...they itch like crazy...and if i pull one off it bleeds a lot...it bothered me but i never said anything because i was thinking that it would go away by itself...but it hasnt! im getting worried and now its even worse...my left labia minora is huge! its swollen and its hurts sooo bad...and it itches even more than the bumps do...and i scratch it raw and when i urinate the open skin burns and stings...after i fight the itch for a day or so the, burning doesnt occur because the skin is closed...it hurts and its swollen really big...i tried to put some ice on it to reduce the swelling and it seemed to work but i coudnt stand the cold anymore so i stopped...i dont know if the bumps are hpv or not...they dont look like any type of hpv ive ever seen in pictures..they are raised and completely white..they cluster together along my pantyline towards my anal area, i dont shave so theyre not shaving bumps...it itches and hurts..someone please help me i am young and afraid
Dear Myra,
It sounds like you have HPV. I suggest you go to your gyn and have it looked at and take a blood test to confirm it.
Please stop scratching and touching the area. You are only making it worse. The blisters will pop and the liquid that is released (if its HPV) will infect other parts of the skin...speading the infection even more.
The best thing you can do in the meantime, before getting to your doctor is to ice the area; 20 mins on, 20 mins off.
Take care and Good Luck.

Bad idea to have unpertected sex with some whom is not a long time lover. But it seems you may have herpes, I would get tested ASAP there is no cure for herpes.
