    Re: Abscess down below. Anyone else?

    Yes I am, going to go next week. It’s almost a month since I found it, I don’t believe it’s changed in size which is a good thing?? When I look at it with a mirror it’s a few mm flappy bit of skin. When I take a photo and enlarge it’s like a little balloon (long style ones) that’s only been blown up 1/4 of the way. I’m really hoping it’s just a skin tag. Still no pain or itching.

    I'm sure which ever of the three it is, it's benign. Let me know what happens.

    I really hope it’s not a wart (doesn’t really look like a wart from the pics I’ve seen of genital warts to be honest) as I’ve been with my husband for 15 years and I’ve never been unfaithful x

    I’ll update once I’ve been. Period has just started so will need to wait until that’s over now. Just going to try and keep busy x

    Even if it is a wart, they are very common and most go away on their own. They're very common because they're caused by HPV. Most adults have HPV (not the kind that causes cervical cancer).

    Is it still possible if we both haven’t slept with anyone else in 15 years?

    Well, yeah. You could've even gotten it the very first time either of you had sex. Most people have it their whole lives and never even get a wart.

    Just looked into this a bit more, it’s actually quite scary. I didn’t realise how long hpv can lay dormant or symptomless! I’m still not sure it’s wart like from the pics I’ve seen online and it’s softness plus the fact I can almost flick it suggests a skin tag, but then it’s also not a very common place for a skin tag. I just need to grow a pair and get it looked at once and for all. I’m terrified of going to the dr but if I don’t this will consume me for months!

    Yeah, I didn’t say that to scare you. Warts are harmless.

    i know you didn’t, but I didn’t realise so many strains of hpv and how long they stay in your system. Nasty viruses!
