Is the appearance of 3 to 4 bumps on labia minora due to a genital wart?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern. It looks (attachments removed to protect the patient's information) more like vestibular papillomatosis, a benign condition. Mucosa-colored, pinkish projections are seen on labia minora, mainly on both sides, symmetrically. Are these present on both sides? It can mimic genital warts closely, though. Warts are irregular and flesh-colored and can be asymmetrical. If in doubt, doctors may perform an acetic acid test by applying it to lesions. Warts become whitish or a biopsy. The morphology is suggestive of vestibular papillomatosis if it is present on both sides. Take care.

Hi,

Welcome back to iciniq.com.

You did not mention if they are present on both sides symmetrically? If these are the only lesions present and not on the other side, these can be warts. Also, if your partner has warts, it is very likely to get transmitted. Since how long have you had these? And is your partner diagnosed by a dermatologist? If not, you can share his lesions picture here if it is not an issue for you. Take care.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

The asymmetrical distribution and the history of genital warts in the partner would favor genital warts. As I told you earlier, these conditions can mimic each other. You both should get a consultation with a nearby dermatologist. Ointments are not very useful, but cryotherapy can be of help. Before starting the treatment, the dermatologist would like to conduct the blood work for other STDs (sexually transmitted diseases) or an acetic acid test to be sure. At-home application of Imiquimod cream is also used for treatment, but before that, an in-person examination is required. Take care.
