Brief Answer: Sounds like viral infection like genital warts Detailed Answer: Hi, Thanks for consulting HealthcareMagic! Sounds like viral infection like genital warts caused by HPV or molluscum contagiosum. But, many things like polyps, malignancy etc should be excluded.

I have an appt. this coming week with new doctor, and also want you to know that these do come and go, and have had them for a number of years, but nothing has come of them. Have not had PAP test done for number of years due to hysterectomy.

Brief Answer: I understood what you were trying to tell. Detailed Answer: Hi, Thanks for follow up! I understood what you were trying to tell. But still, because of your elderly age, we definitely need to exclude chances of malignancy (though the possibility is very very rare based on the clinical description you have gives). Please be reassured that there is nothing big to worry about, but at the same time, you may not want to take a minor chance also. Hope I have answered your query.
