Good on you for getting it checked out though.:thumb:
No way, their professionals
You've probably just got an ingrown hair. I totally freaked out when I got a lump exactly where you described ages back when I shaved - I went to a GUM clinic and had two nurses confirm that it wasn't anything I had imagined to be and that it was an ingrown hair.
Better to be safe than sorry, get yourself to a GUM clinic and TELL your boyfriend in the meantime.
Sorry to pry, here but when you say you've been a 'whore' did you sleep with several people without any protection?
Has your boyfriend slept with anyone other than you without protection?
ETA - They will NOT call you anything, they have been dealing with worse cases than yours and plus, who even knows if it's anything terrible. You JUST don't know.
that happened to me too!
Aw Rachel I know its SO scary when you start thinking about your sexual history, if you think about it too much it'll drive you crazy. Just go to the GUM clinic and they're really nice, honestly. They wont judge you at all, its not like you've slept with 60 people without using contraception is it? The sooner you go the sooner you can stop worrying about it.
ETA they just looked at it when i went...i had an STD test a year or so later just because me and my friend decided to have a checkup. and it was all clear anyway.
They looked at it, and a specialist came through and saw that I had a bit of stubble and kind of examined it and confirmed that it was nothing more than an ingrown hair.
That was about 3 years ago and I've had nothing show up since.
I think genital warts - which I thought it was that I had - take about up to 6 months from the last time you slept with someone to show up if I remember rightly.
This website is really really good for this information -

If you don't want to tell him, then bring someone along. I was freaking out so much that I told my Mam, and I never let her into my sex life WHATSOEVER. But I really needed someone to be there with me.
ETA - I'm not saying you may or may not have warts, but the way my mind was freaking out I was sure that's what I had.
You're not being graphic, man. It's not as if you have really any other outlet I guess, but it doesn't sound at all what you're making it out to be. But I can totally appreciate this nauseating fear you've got. I went through it too, but it probably is just a really small ingrown hair. You're not the first and you won't be the last to freak out about one of these if you've not seen them before trust me.
But good luck for tomorrow.
Don't focus of the negativity of everything until you've had it explained to you. You'll just knacker yourself mentally going over 'ifs' and 'whens' and the like. Get some kip and deal with it tomorrow.
xxx.
Good stuff.
you can get spots ANYWHERE
It sounds like ur making a mountain out of a mole hill chick, best to get it checked but try not to panic.
