What Are The Symptoms Of Genital Warts?

Hi, I m a 28 year old sexually active female. I have noticed recently a strange bumpy trail all along the inner labia on both sides but more prominent on the right side. They are flesh coloured, and feel like the tongue texture, they don t itch and they are not painful. I have noticed they show up whenever I have a yeast infection and clear up when the infection is gone. When I looked in the mirror the cluster resemble tiny cracks on my inner labia. I m not sure what they are. I m concerned they might genital warts or some of an HPV symptom.

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Yes this is genital wart. This is caused by human papilloma virus (HPV) and is transmitted by sexual intercourse. Genital warts are soft growths that appear on the genitals. These skin growths can cause pain, discomfort, and itching. It is a very resistant kind of infection. Relapse is common very after treatment. Creams, surgery and laser treatments are available but no treatment guarantees cure. Sometimes it resolves spontaneously without treatment.
Advice
1.     Imiquimod 5% cream – Apply onto fingertip and rubbed onto clean, dry, wart area until cream vanishes, once daily, three times per week at bed time. Wash off next morning with soap and water. Apply very small amount. Use this for 16 weeks continuously. But do not use it if you are pregnant or planning to conceive. After 16 weeks of use, if wart does not disappear then consult your doctor of other treatment option. Non-treatment is an option for asymptomatic warts.
2.     Take high protein diet such as eggs, pulses and meat to enhance immunity
3.     Consult a dermatologist for specialist care
Thanks
