Please read the whole thing-

So been with my husband for 7 years, married for 2.5. I had a spot on the upper part of my pubic area - basically where the pubic hair would start to grow, and actually thought it was skin cancer as a result of my stupid tanning bed filled youth. I went to a dermatologist who biopsied it and called me back saying it was “condyloma-aka hpv” and referred me to my gyn which I’m going to see on Monday. The spot was flesh colored and honestly barely noticeable. So I’m not even sure how long it’s been there.

Anyways- I’m a little shocked, nervous, angry etc. I had my pap in sept and figure the dr would have noticed it then? But again it was so small and high up in my pubic area so I am not even sure she would have.

I have so many questions but don’t know where to start. I guess I’m trying to determine how a married woman who’s been with the same partner for 7 years (5 partners in my life) would suddenly get a genital wart. It’s only one tiny genital wart, not a cluster either.

Does this mean my husband cheated? Could it have been in my system from a previous partner (or in his from a previous partner) and now it just finally showed symptoms? I asked him if there’s been anyone else and he’s hell bent that there hasn’t but we’ve been trust issues early on that always makes me wonder if he’s being honest 100%. Anyone with any experience with this who could ease my mind would be much appreciated. Like I said I am going to the dr monday

Also since my derm removed it, is it gone? Or will it come back?

Scared as fuck.

I’m nearly 30. Never slept around, never had random partners so I’m just really embarrassed and scared that this is happening 😭
