I found a bump on a part of my vagina, what could it be?!
Question: i was exposed to herpes but i dont want to jump straight to that conclusion.. i was told it doesnt look like a herpes sore. it just looks like a bump the same color as my vagina, maybe a little darker.
any input--- thanks!

herpes generally looks like a cut, not so much as just a bump. if it is a bump, chances are it very well could be HPV.
HPV usually has no symptoms but can be dangerous to your health. HPV has over 70 strands of infection and can cause cervical cancer if it goes uncared for.
you can get tested for HPV by having a simple pap smear and your doctor will contact you in a few days to show if there were any abnormal cell changes in your cervix. if there is a high percentage of cell changes then you will go in for another pap where they will take some of the cells and biopsy them to see if they are cancerous. thus! keeping you healthy in terms of cervical cancer.
definitely go see a doctor, even if you are just spooked and it turns out to be nothing, keeping regular appointments with a OBGYN after your first sexual experience is key to keeping healthy.
also, if you have been exposed to herpes, you could very well have it but not show symptoms for a while. once you have it, you can get tested for which strand you have (HSV-1 or HSV-2) and one is easier to manage than the other. but you can be put on suppressive therapy, which is just taking a Valtrax pill once a day, to keep from having any outbreaks.
you should go to the doctor and check it out
well, are you sexually active? it could be genital warts
Could be genital warts. Go to your local health department & get tested for all the STD's. In the mean time, don't have ANY sex until you know you're clean & then only have protected sex with partners you know not to be infected with anything.
it could be alot of things even shaving bumps or a pimple.
