Doc not helping

    I know this isn't a medical board, but I've been to my GP and she didn't help. I have a tiny bump on my vulva, which to me looks like a small wart so when I was getting a smear I asked her to look at it. She said it wasn't big or hard enough to be a wart and didn't see any reason for concern, just to come back to her if it got bigger or darker. It is slightly lighter in colour to my own skin (also looks like google image warts). It has been there for 3 months now and last week another one appeared just beside the vaginal enterance. I am not sexually active at the moment and have not been over the past 3 months so it is not really an issue so to speak. However, I would like to have a sex life! and this is stopping me. If I saw them on someone else I wouldn't have sex with them because to me they look like warts. Now I know the GP knows better (or should), but this is concerning me. How to self medicate on this? Online I've read that putting salt on them and talc to keep them dry and boosting my immune system. I need to get rid of these things, please suggest something?

    We cannot offer medical advice here so I am closing this thread.

    If you are not happy with the support being offered by your doctor, then you should seek a second opinion from another doctor.
