HPV or am I just paranoid
Okay...gross confession: I used to masturbate without washing my hands before doing so. This happened a lot when I first started doing this a couple of years back
I never really noticed but there used to be these small, hard lumps along my inner Labia. They didn’t grow in patches, but rather randomly. They’d get irritated when I kept my fingernails a bit longer (they’re usually short.) They aren’t itchy
I’m a virgin, but I read somewhere that it’s possible to contract HPV when touching your privates with wart-infested hands
I’ve never touched another person’s privates, and I’m pretty much a germaphobe now. But is this HPV or am I just paranoid?
PS: I’ve had my HPV shots, but the bumps were there before I got the Gardasil immunization
