If it looks like a pimple it is probably not a wart. Atleast I wouldn't think so. Let me know how the doctor went. I have some bumps on my bikini area and wondering what they could be if they are not warts.

If it's like a blister or cold sore, it's likely herpes. If it's more of a wart, a painless bump that is lighter in color than the surrounding tissue it's probably a vaginal wart caused by human papilloma virus.

If it's painful, like a cyst or pimple it's likely that it's a bartholin's gland cyst. The bartholin's glands provide lubrication and moisture for the vagina. There is one on either side of the vaginal opening. They can get blocked and cause painful cysts which will go away.

You should see your doctor about any of these conditions. Hpv can go on to cause cervical cancer. And herpes can be transmitted to your lovers.

Take care.

Most of the time it's nothing. There is a name for it but I can't recall it at the moment. Basically it's like a clogged pore or ingrown hair type thing. Nothing to be concerned about. Do not try and squeeze them. It will hurt and can become infected. They occur because of panty fabric rubbing down there, mixed with the damp and warmth. I was told this by my doctor, because I had one. BUT, if you are very sexually active with many partners, it could be herpes...not the case with me.
