Help! TMI women's issue would love povs as obv can't go to dr till tom

[Anonymous]

I was just showering and found this bump on my vagina (like just right inside). Looked and there are a few bumps (like 4) that look like dark red or black blisters. I've had the HPV vaccine. I am FREAKING out. I had a pap recently like within months and dr said nothing (he would have noticed right?). Can this be some kind of vulvar cancer? what else could it possibly be? urgh urgh urgh.

Try not to freak out. Difficult to guess what you are seeing/feeling. Call in the morning so you can be seen. If you just had a Pap, the likelihood that this is something concerning is remarkably small.

Am now struggling to remember if the gyn did a visual exam while doing the pap but I guess he must have (and was right there looking at it to put the crocodile in)

Crocodile?

Have you shaved at all recently, OP? Could it be a bunch of in grown hairs?

Are they on one side only or both sides?

I suddenly developed a strange blister bump there that turned out to be Shingles (yes, in my privates). Somehow I had a hunch and went to my PCP the very next morning rather than wait for an OB appointment later that week. Sure enough I got the meds and saved myself extra pain and blisters (it was still bad for a week but would have been way worse had I waited longer).

She means the speculum, with the best descriptor I've heard. I described the specimen collection utensil as a mascara wand.

A visual examination is done during a Pap. What you describe would have been seen.

As for shingles, I am guessing there was a sensation/burning/awareness.

The big one I felt is on one side (that seems to have shrunk since I scratched it) but dh says they are on both sides

Do you have hair inside your vagina that you shave?

Or do you just not know the difference between a vagina and a vulva?

I think PP may be confused b/c OP said she found it in the shower. Most people don't wash the inside of their vagina to be able to find bumps inside.

Op - it’s labia majora not inside the actual canal.

Chances are they are ingrown hairs. But good to check it out. Try to get some good rest.
