Hi I really need an answer to a sexual
problem I have. For over a year now I
have had a raised lump which resembles the
head of a cauliflower, i.E. The top of it
is rugged. Sometimes it can go very small
although it is still noticeable but other
times, especially after sex or when I have
been wearing tight trousers, it becomes
very swollen. It is the same shape but
just more swollen. It can also irritate
me and itch. Its is on the labium minus
and although it often becomes inflamed it
has never spread on me or been passed on.
It is not an external lump, it’s like the
normal skin but it’s taken on a
cauliflower like appearance and is raised.
When I pull the skin on both sides, the
affected side is very large compared to
the unaffected side. It’s like I have
excess skin.
Is this a genital wart?
It is hard to say it without seeing it.
Can you send me a photo?

That is a perfect description Posted: 04-08-08 17:39pm
of what I also have on my upper groin
area, about an inch from the fold there of
my leg onto my torso.
It had just been a skin tag/mole which my
doctor removed a year ago. It seemed to
clear up but then it came back with the
same description as above. Cauliflower,
bumpy white appearance, 1/4 inch in
diameter. It doesn't cause me any
problems, but it is there.
I was diagnosed with HPV last August and
have wondered if this could be a genital
wart.
Please advise.
Thank you.

How to tell if it's a wart.... Posted: 04-30-08 10:23am
You can put vinegar on the areas and if
they turn white, they are probably warts.

vinegar is not a good way to test as it
commonly turns other areas white as well
that are not warts. See a Dr. as its not
worth messing around or worrying back and
forth "is it?"

HPV is the virus that causes genital
warts, so you are most likely describing a
wart.

My doctor froze off that genital wart and
now it appears to be detached and healing
of the original site.
One of the hardest things with being
diagnosed with HPV, is trying to talk to
the partner that you had and have them
take you seriously. It is always, "are
you going to keep going on about HPV
forever?" I believe so as I will have HPV
until I die. They wipe their hands and
simply walk away.
Unfortuantely, for anyone foolish enough
to have unprotected sex, you may think you
are free and clear just because you don't
show any signs of HPV, but it is a virus.
You may have an immune system strong
enough to battle it, as Dr. Nikola said,
but for the person, women in general who
have the high risk types of HPV which can
ultimately develop into cervical cancer,
you are the one here left with the
consequences of your own actions. Use
protection people. Please. Protect
yourselves.

Bobbie -
I feel your pain bro...but don't be
misinformed. "Protection" such as condoms
etc. WILL NOT protect you from HPV as it
is often in the uncovered skin as well.
As far as "talking about it forever"
you'll get over it. Read up on the H002
treatment I posted about on here.
peace

I Agree Posted: 05-10-08 19:49pm
Condoms do NOT protect you from HPV. Try
telling that to the guy who gave it to you
who proclaims to the Heavens he doesn't
have it, his xwife doesn't have it and his
GF doesn't have it. Must just be me and
my problem.
Of course, you are exposed to HPV in the
uncovered skin. After all, it is skin to
skin contact.
Getting over it or talking about it
forever? I guess I am not a happy camper
here. He moved on with his life and I am
left in the aftermath of being a very
foolish woman trusting him when he said he
was clean. Stupid mistake.
But, thank you for your response. I
appreciate it.

Roberta - unless this guy you're speaking
of is the ONLY person you ever had sexual
contact with, you have no guarantee that
this guy was the place you picked it up.
HPV can lay dormant for years. i.e. -
although you may be correct, that he gave
it to you, I wouldnt be so certain that
you know that for sure. It very well may
have been someone else.
