I had 2 small painless white bumps on my inner thigh near my vagina. I was quite worried about stds and finally went to the doctor.
And it was something id never heard of.
This is from planned parenthood:
molluscum contagiosum
(mo lus kum con tay gee oh sum)
hundreds of thousands of cases of the virus molluscum contagiosum are diagnosed every year. It is often transmitted by nonsexual, intimate contact.
Common symptoms — when they occur: small, pinkish white, waxy, round, polyp like growths in the genital area or on the thighs. There is often a tiny depression in the middle of the growth. Symptoms usually appear between two and 12 weeks after infection — but it can take years.
How molluscum contagiosum is spread: vaginal, anal, and oral intercourse, as well as nonsexual, intimate contact. Children may become infected through casual contact. In such cases, growths may appear on other parts of the body, especially the abdomen.
Treatment: growths may be removed with chemicals, electrical current, or freezing.
Protection: condoms reduce the risk of molluscum contagiosum, but the virus may "shed" beyond the area covered or protected by condoms.
I thought I was knowledgeable about sti's but id never heard of this. I got one bump removed with acid and it was gone in 2 days.. The other dissapeared on its own a couple of weeks after I noticed it. I havent had any more since and it has been about 7 months.
Not sure if this helped but good luck!
