I dont really like putting this on here but oh well, I'm concerned about what it could be...I just recently noticed a small bump like thing on the opening of my anus...it just looks like extra skin or something basically, doesn't hurt or anything..isn't rough, its just like..theres a tiny bit of extra skin there portruding kinda, same color as my skin around it..so nothing weird really, I've just never noticed it before and the only reason I was concerned is because about 5 months ago I was diagnosed with hpv, i've been with one guy my entire life( my current bf) and he's only been with one girl before me. I've google pictures of warts and things, but honestly, it doesn't look like that and from what I read the strands that do cause the warts are pretty rare. Last time I went to the gyno they said I had very mild hpv, wasn't bad and that they'd do a 6 month check up with me...I'm set to go back in November, but is there anything I should be really concerned about? What else could it be if it isn't that? any ideas??? It isn't hideous or huge or anything, its just...strange and i've never noticed it before

Yeah it could be a wart from the hpv. That's what they look like before they get really bad, just skin colored bumps. It will get harder and bigger if it is a wart. You can get it treated by a derm. or your gyno.

You do know you are still contagious if you have warts or not, right?? HPV is a lifetime illness...

I had something like that in exactly the same place. It was there for a couple of weeks and then went away. I still dont know what it was, but if you are really concerned you can see the doc and have it looked at and tested.

You know that you can spread it to him even if you don't have an outbreak, right?

It may be a wart or it may just be extra skin. The anus needs to be flexible to allow for the passage of stool and needs to have extra skin around it for the muscles to expand.
