Sorry, i had to delete the question in order to get all the info into the response...... To be honest, it sounds like either genital warts or herpes. Warts are usually bumps. they can be small and white or pink & can grow big and cauliflower like. They can be painful or not. Warts are caused by the humanpapiloma virus (hpv) which lingers in the blood. The virus itself cannot be treated, but the warts can! Often, the virus will find its way out of the blood within a few years, but this is not always the case. Warts can be transmitted orally - if your partner gave you oral sex and had a wart on his mouth he could have transmitted it to you. Warts CAN also be transmitted if he has the virus and did not have the wart at the time and gave you oral sex....but that's not AS likely. The other possibility is Herpes. Herpes causes painful blisters that bleed and causes lesions/abrasions. Herpes simplex virus1 = oral, and HSV2 =genitals. If he gave you oral sex while having oral warts...same story, you could have caught them. ALthough, you probably would have caught them from kissing him. If he had genital warts and you had sex with him (even if it was protected) you could have caught it if he had herpes on his intter thighs or buttocks that you didn't notice. The best way to find out is 2 show these bumps to your doctor and explain the circumstances. Normal std tests at a routine exam tests for std's like chalydia, ghonnoreah, trichomoniasis, etc. HPV (warts) can sometiems show up on a pap examination and may make the results abnormal, but not always. THere are HPV test but they are expensive. And as for herpes tests, the gyn can tell u. talk to your doctor about it, he/she may even be able to diagnose you without a test if it's obvious. U could even just be having an allergic reaction. A friend of mine once had a yeast infection that she left untreated and the yeast started to irritate her vulva so much that she developed bumps and cuts that bled a little bit. tests were negative and it was just a reaction from all the yeast. The only way to know is to visit your gyn. Best of luck to you, Sincerely,
